Raymond L. Page

Raymond L. Page is a Professor of Practice in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). His academic roles include teaching, research, and industry consultation. He holds a BS and MS from West Virginia University (1987 and 1989) and a PhD from Virginia Tech (1993).

His research focuses on tissue regeneration, cell dedifferentiation, and the application of natural biopolymers in cell therapy. Key projects involve studying growth factor signaling in cellular environments, developing 3D in vitro skeletal muscle models, and employing biopolymer microthread technologies for cell delivery. His work bridges engineering principles with biological systems to address challenges in regenerative medicine and wound healing.

Dr. Page consults for companies in cell-based therapeutic and genetic diagnostic development, integrating industry insights into student education. He mentors undergraduate and graduate students, emphasizing collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches. His research lab explores stem cell differentiation, cell culture substrate effects, and oxygen tension impacts on cell behavior.

While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his scholarly work spans biomaterials, stem cell biology, and reproductive technologies. He advises students on independent research projects and participates in educational outreach programs to enhance biotechnological literacy among peers and secondary educators.
