Biography
Elizabeth Loboa is Dean and Professor of Bioengineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Missouri, Columbia. She received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Davis and her M.S. and PhD in Biomechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, respectively, from Stanford University. Although dean, she continues to maintain an active research portfolio with work in her laboratory focused on: 1) biomimetic mechanical, electrical and material stimuli to human stem cells for functional tissue engineering applications; and, 2) textile-based and nanofibrous “smart bandages” as controlled release systems for wound healing, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine applications requiring antimicrobial, antibacterial, and/or anti-inflammatory treatment(s). Dr. Loboa has published over 275 peer-reviewed conference proceedings, book chapters and journal articles.
