Relatively recent advances in materials science are now making it possible\nfor scientists and engineers to adapt similar strategies for human problems. In this seminar\, I will\npresent our recent work on two such efforts: (1) exploring new ways of creating infection-resistant\nmaterials for healthcare that remove the need for antibiotics and (2) leveraging industrial\nmass-manufacturing capacity to create large-scale surfaces with functionality such as sensing. In\nour work on infection-resistant materials\, we draw from the way that Nature uses liquid-like layers\nas one effective method to control microorganisms. We created a similar system for commercially\navailable urinary catheters\, one of the most widely used and infection-prone medical devices. Tests\nof the modified catheter materials both in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that the presence of a\nliquid-like surface effectively prevented the attachment and spread of six of the most common\npathogens in catheter-associated urinary tract infection. The materials also resisted colonization by\nan emerging fungal pathogen of concern\, Candidozyma auris. In our work on functional surfaces\, we\nrepurpose a butterfly-scale-inspired nanoscale surface textured produced at 4\,000m\n2/h for the fashion industry as a water-quality sensor. By continuously monitoring the diffraction pattern\nproduced by the surface texture as water passes over it\, we show that it is possible to detect and\nquantify a variety of model contaminants including chemical compounds\, sediment\, and algae.\nPreliminary field testing in estuaries\, rivers\, and lakes around Maine confirmed the potential of\nbio-inspired diffraction sensing for low-cost environmental monitoring. Together\, these projects\nprovide a glimpse of the range of solutions that can be generated by looking to Nature for inspiration.
