Even as new revolutions in computational tools and data science change how society operates, the biomaterials field has yet to leverage these approaches fully. To catapult computational approaches such as modeling, simulation, and AI/machine learning to accelerate biomaterials development and translation, the HUB created the CCORE. The CCORE is working to 1) facilitate connections between biomaterials and computational resources, 2) educate the biomaterials community about computational resources, and 3) foster intentional cross-fertilization of ideas and technologies.

A major barrier to medical technology translation and commercialization is that researchers can lack resources and/or network of professionals for assistance or to partner with.

To overcome this hurdle, the HUB’s TCORE is 1) identifying and disseminating best practices for biomaterials-related translation, 2) identifying and optimizing web-based tutorials for IP, technolgy transfer, clinical translation, and commercialization for biomaterials researchers, and 4) developing a Biomaterials Translation Mentor Network for funded projects (Awards).

The HUB ECORE is 1) integrating trainees and young investigators into the biomaterials community via travel funding awards to the HUB Annual Meeting (Awards and Events). 2) Disseminating key instructional modules on biomaterials and translation via in-person and virtual modules, and 3) sharing enthusiasm for biomaterials research with the next generation of biomaterials scientists and engineers via outreach in K-12 schools, community colleges, and 4-year undergraduate institutions.
