Posted: 

Congratulations to Katelyn Swindle-Reilly, assistant professor, Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, for recently being elected as Program Chair of the (SIG) for Society for Biomaterials 2019-2021.

The Ophthalmic Biomaterials (OPH) Special Interest Group is an integral part of the Society for Biomaterials. The Ophthalmology Special Interest Group focuses on both the development and biocompatibility testing of materials for the augmentation and replacement of diseased ocular tissues and the development and testing of drug delivery systems to the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Some specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: wetting of surfaces; surface modification and protein adsorption of polymers used for refractive devices; transport through polymers, drug delivery systems and technologies; vitreous replacement fluids; retinal tamponades, and glaucoma drainage devices for the regulation of intraocular pressure.

Congratulations Dr. Swindle-Reilly!
