Research in the Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory integrates concepts and techniques from chemical and mechanical engineering, synthetic chemistry, materials science, and biology to design and assemble responsive soft (bio)materials. We sculpt structural and chemical details at the molecular scale to enable predictive and tunable control over emergent macroscale properties. Our user-programmable and responsive materials are employed to understand fundamental processes in biology and materials science as well as translated to solve clinical problems in the fields of materials science, drug delivery, regenerative medicine, and biomedical diagnostics.
Mark Tibbitt is an Associate Professor in the Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory within the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich. He received his B.A. in Integrated Science and Mathematics from Northwestern University and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder under the supervision of Prof. Kristi S. Anseth. From 2013–2017, he was an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow in the Laboratory of Prof. Robert Langer in the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 2017–2023, he was an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at ETH Zurich.
