Dr.
Edward Botchwey received his PhD degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2002. After completing a Merck-UNCF sponsored
postdoctoral fellowship at the Wistar Institute, he joined the University of Virginia (UVa) Departments of Biomedical
Engineering and Orthopaedic Surgery as an Assistant Professor in the fall of
2003. Dr. Botchwey currently directs the
Laboratory for Converging Technologies at the University of Virginia. His laboratory uses a
multidisciplinary approach to improve tissue engineering therapies through the
therapeutic manipulation of neovascularization, inflammation, and innervation in vivo.
Dr. Botchwey’s work is
currently funded through a research career award from the National Institutes
of Health, as well as funding from National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), a research grant from the Emerging Frontiers in Research and
Innovation (EFRI) program of the National Science Foundation, and a contract
from U.S. Army’s Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC). Dr.
Botchwey was also awarded a Coulter Translational Research Partnership grant in
2007 to develop novel contact lenses for treatment of dry eye, and was recently
appointed to the editorial board of the Journal for Biomedical Materials
Research A. Dr. Botchwey teaches primarily in the area of Tissue Engineering,
and was awarded a University Teaching Fellowship (UTF) for the development of a
new undergraduate course in Tissue Engineering for the spring of 2008.
