Bret Ulery is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Missouri. He leads the Biomodulatory Materials Engineering Laboratory, focusing on biomaterials for immunology and regenerative medicine applications. His research has yielded over 50 peer-reviewed publications and technology disclosures, emphasizing vaccine development, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering.
Ulery holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Iowa State University (2010) and dual bachelor's degrees in Engineering (Chemical Engineering) and Biochemistry from the University of Iowa (2006). Prior to MU, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Connecticut Health Center and the University of Chicago.
His research interests include designing biomaterials for immunomodulation, improving vaccine efficacy, and developing therapeutic materials for spinal cord injury and bone regeneration. Recent work highlights innovations in peptide amphiphile micelles, thiol-containing biomaterials, and controlled drug delivery systems.
Ulery has advised students such as Emma McDougal, Marissa Moore, and Lara Stefani, who have received prestigious fellowships like the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and DAAD RISE awards. His lab actively explores interdisciplinary solutions at the intersection of materials science, immunology, and regenerative medicine.
