Welcome to the Bettinger Group at Carnegie Mellon University! We are broadly interested in the applying principles of polymer synthesis, materials science, and microfabrication for use in a wide range of biomedical applications including advanced medical devices, regenerative medicine, functional bio-interfaces, and drug delivery. Members of the Bettinger Group work at the interface of several disciplines including biomaterials, cell biology, and organic electronics to achieve these goals.
Bettinger Group publishes work on edible batteries
Postdoctoral fellow Young Jo Kim of publishes work on edible batteries in Journal of Materials Chemistry in collaboration with Jay Whitacre. These biocompatible batteries could power edible electronic devices.
