Labs

The Bioengineering Center has been chartered by the Wayne State University Board of Governors since 1963. The mission of the Center is to promote fundamental discoveries, design and development of technologies and education in the understanding, mitigation, and prevention of impact associated injuries. Past Directors include Professor Herbert Lissner (1963-1965), Professor Larry Patrick (1965-1979), and Professor Albert I. King (1979-2003). The current Director, Professor King H. Yang, started his term on January 2004. The six major groups in the Center are:

• Advanced Human Modeling Lab
• Ballistic Impact and Forensic Biomechanics Lab
• Impact testing Lab
• Cell Injury and Tissue Engineering Lab
• Neurophysiology and Pain Research Lab
• Sports Injury Biomechanics Lab
