Research in the Loboa laboratory focuses on two areas: 1) empirical and computational approaches to quantitatively determine and deliver biomimetic mechanical, electrical, and material stimuli to human stem cells for functional tissue engineering of musculoskeletal tissues; and, 2) nanofibrous “smart bandages” as controlled release systems for wound healing applications requiring antimicrobial, antibacterial, and/or anti-inflammatory treatment. Dr. Loboa’s research has been funded by the Nonwovens Cooperative Research Center (NC based industry consortium), North Carolina Biotechnology Center, National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Loboa is a recipient of the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Award (2005), Sigma Xi Faculty Research Award (2009), UK-US Stem Cell Collaboration Development Award (2009), Stanford University Distinguished Alumni Scholar Award (2010), the NCSU Chancellor’s Innovation Award (2011), and the NC State University Faculty Scholar Award (2012).
