Injectable hydrogels with independent control over physical properties and bioactive peptide functionalization
Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease that causes low bone mass, bone tissue deterioration, and bone microarchitecture disruption, leading to compromised bone strength and an increased risk of fractures. More than 200 million people have osteoporosis globally, and about 30% of women and 20% of men over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture...

Self-forming in vivo dosimeter for radiation therapy verification
­Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the most common treatment modalities for cancer and is used in approximately 50% of all treatment plans. It's estimated that RT is responsible for more than 3.5 million successful treatment outcomes along with another 3.5 million for palliative care. Although RT effectively kills cancer, it can cause damage...

Two-terminal multicolor photo-detectors (PD) and focal plane arrays (FPA)
The state of the art of two-color focal plane arrays (FPAs) are two or three terminal photo detector pixels integrated with electronic readout circuits (ROICs). However, a multicolor (> 2) photodetector pixel requires many more terminals, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to integrate multicolor pixel arrays to ROICs due to the increase...
