Roger Guillory serves as an Assistant Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at Marquette University and Medical College of Wisconsin, and holds a secondary appointment as Assistant Professor in the MCW Department of Pediatrics. He directs the Regenerative Engineered Biomaterials Lab, where his research focuses on developing innovative biomaterials solutions for vascular medical applications.
Dr. Guillory earned his BS and PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Michigan Technological University, followed by a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Northwestern University's Department of Biomedical Engineering. His educational background provides a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of biomaterials science and engineering.
His research program centers on cellular and molecular interactions of bioactive materials, with particular emphasis on bioabsorbable metals and advanced biomaterials characterization techniques. Dr. Guillory's work specifically targets the development of biomaterials for vascular medical devices, including stents and other implantable technologies that can safely degrade within the body while promoting healing. His laboratory investigates how material properties influence biological responses, with the goal of creating next-generation medical devices that minimize complications and improve patient outcomes.
Analysis of Dr. Guillory's recent publications reveals a strong focus on magnesium-based biomaterials and their applications in vascular medicine. His research spans from fundamental materials science investigations to preclinical in vivo testing, with particular attention to corrosion behavior, endothelialization processes, and inflammatory responses. The work demonstrates a clear trajectory toward clinical translation of bioresorbable metallic implants, especially for cardiovascular applications.
Dr. Guillory currently leads multiple significant research projects, including an NIH-funded study on bioresorbable magnesium alloys and their interactions with the inflammatory microenvironment. His work bridges engineering principles with clinical needs, positioning him at the forefront of regenerative biomaterials development.
As principal investigator on multiple grants, Dr. Guillory manages research funding from both the Medical College of Wisconsin's Cardiovascular Research Center and the National Institutes of Health. His current projects focus on predicting degradation rates of arterial magnesium implants using machine learning approaches, understanding the relationship between magnesium alloy corrosion and inflammatory responses, and developing biodegradable elastomers for vascular grafts. These projects involve interdisciplinary collaborations across engineering, medicine, and data science disciplines.
At the Regenerative Engineered Biomaterials Lab, Dr. Guillory leads a research team dedicated to advancing the field of bioresorbable metallic implants. The lab employs a multidisciplinary approach combining materials science, cellular biology, and engineering design to develop novel solutions for vascular interventions. Current projects focus on optimizing material composition, surface modifications, and device designs to improve biocompatibility and functionality of next-generation medical implants.
