William Murphy
Credentials: PhD
Position title: Harvey Spangle Professor of Engineering in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
Dr. Murphy’s research interests include the creation of novel materials using bioinspired approaches, the use of biomaterials to define the stem cell microenvironment, the development of biomaterials for tissue regeneration, and novel approaches to drug delivery and gene therapy. His work places particular emphasis on temporal and spatial control over growth-factor activity, gene transfer, and mechanical stimulation. Murphy’s group is highly interdisciplinary, with research areas ranging from novel materials design approaches to stem cell biology.
