The Dalton Lab uses advanced manufacturing breakthroughs which are then applied in applications that serve the benefit of humanity. We perform basic science and push the limits of manufacturing, but maintain the regulatory framework as our guardrails so that our products translate into application as quickly as possible. Rather than seeing the regulatory process as a barrier to translation, we see it as a source of innovation. By taking a holistic and fundamental approach to technology-based research we challenge ourselves to change perceptions of what the future of manufacturing could look like. Our laboratory is turning the innovation cycle upside down by first manufacturing impossible materials, then applying them to meet clinical challenges.
