UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

The Ong Lab focuses on the development of new sensors and devices for medical applications, with emphasis on regenerative medicine for orthopedic care... Currently, we are deploying magnetoelastic materials, which are commonly used for making acoustic speakers or anti-theft tags, as implantable devices. We use the actuating and sensing abilities of this material to create internal bone fixation plates that can monitor the healing conditions and provide mechanical loads to maximize bone regeneration. Another example of our work is the ongoing development of a new sensor system that can continuously track the microenvironment of cells in a bioreactor. In addition, we are actively engaged in the deployments of various wireless sensor technologies for other medical applications and environmental monitoring... We are always looking for partnerships within and outside of the university to amplify the impact of our sensor research.
