Grant Description: The NBM Program supports fundamental research in biomechanics and mechanobiology. An emphasis is placed on multiscale solid and fluid mechanics approaches in the study of organisms that integrate across molecular, cell, tissue and organ domains. The relationships between mechanical behavior and extracellular matrix composition and organization are of interest. In addition, the influence of in vivo mechanical forces on cell and matrix biology in the histomorphogenesis, maintenance, regeneration, and aging of those tissues is a primary concern. Funded projects may include theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches. The program encourages the consideration of diverse living tissues as smart materials that are self-designing. Biomimetic inspired applications to other engineering fields are encompassed.
