Person
Eric Michael Brey, PhD is a professor of biomedical engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology and a research health scientist at the Hines Veterans Administration Hospital. He received BS and MEng degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Louisville, and a PhD in chemical engineering from Rice University. Dr. Brey's research is focused on the areas of tissue engineering, vascularization, and biomaterials. Specifically, his group has developed and investigated new biomaterial and surgical approaches to control vessel assembly. His research has resulted in over 85 peer-reviewed publications, nine book chapters, and over 200 presentations and invited talks.
