Ustin, Jeffery, M.D.

Research Statement

My main interests are in translational research.  I have training in medicine, engineering, and management of technology.  I want to help clinicians solve their problems with new technologies when appropriate and help engineers define and better understand clinical needs and medical culture.  My current projects include a synthetic hemostatic agent, a resorbable filter, and drug eluting tubes.
