Engineering Center for Orthopaedic Research Excellence
(E-CORE)
The Engineering Center for Orthopaedic Research Excellence (E-CORE) strives to increase the understanding of causes of joint abnormalities and associated pain, which often reduce an individual's quality of life. These research efforts lead to new and effective surgical procedures to restore a patient's normal life style.
State-of-the-art research labs at the cellular level, bench and cadaver tests, analytical modeling, and clinical and patient follow up are available to conduct the highest quality multi-disciplinary basic scientific and applied research.
Well equipped facility with professional dedicated staff focused on development and evaluation of novel medical devices from concept to final product to bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and commercialization. Learn more about spin-off companies.

CNSF (Coalition for National Science Funding) 24th Annual Exhibition
What: "Investments in Scientific and Educational Research: Fueling American Innovation"
When: Wednesday, May 9, 2018
Where: Washington, DC
Groundbreaking Research Fueling American Innovation
Dr.'s Bhaduri and Goel participated at the Exhibition and presented about their development of a regenerative material to be used in spinal surgeries. The material is now being manufactured locally, providing a direct impact on communities in Ohio. Many national societies participated in the exhibition to show-off exemplary research. Bhaduri/Goel project was selected and sponsored by the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). Nationwide, Bhaduri/Goel project was chosen as the finalist on behalf of the institute. Out of 40 poster displayed, all from different universities. theirs was selected as one of the five groundbreaking projects affecting the lives of Americans.
The CNSF Exhibition and Reception annually draws more than 300 attendees, including members of Congress and their staff, congressional committee staff, the leadership of NSF, and representatives from the White House and other policymaking and research agencies.
