About
Jennifer Dellinger is a leading researcher in bone tissue engineering, with a focus on the fabrication and mechanical characterization of hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for orthopedic applications. Her work centers on developing advanced scaffold architectures that mimic natural bone’s complex porosity, using robocasting—a solid freeform fabrication technique—to create structures with multiscale porosity, including periodic, radial, and superlattice designs. Her most cited paper (2007, 95 citations) demonstrates how robotic deposition can produce model HA scaffolds with tailored architectures, enabling precise control over pore size and distribution for enhanced bone regeneration. In a complementary study (2006, 56 citations), she investigated how degradation in acidic environments affects the load-bearing properties of these scaffolds, revealing critical insights into their mechanical stability over time. Dellinger’s contributions have advanced the understanding of scaffold design for bone repair, with her work cited over 150 times, reflecting its impact on biomaterials research. Her achievements include pioneering the use of robocasting for multiscale porosity, which has inspired further innovations in tissue engineering scaffolds.
