Research Opportunities in the TARAFDER Lab

The TARAFDER Lab at South Dakota State University welcomes motivated students interested in advancing research in the fields of biomaterials, mechanobiology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

Graduate Research Opportunities

While there are currently no funded graduate student positions available, self-funded students who are passionate about cutting-edge research in biomaterials, mechanobiology, and tissue engineering are encouraged to reach out. The lab offers an engaging and collaborative environment for graduate students to develop their research skills and contribute to impactful biomedical innovations.

Interested graduate students should contact Dr. Solaiman Tarafder at solaiman.tarafder@sdstate.edu for more information about potential research opportunities and lab expectations.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities

The TARAFDER Lab actively encourages undergraduate students to explore hands-on research experiences. Students interested in gaining laboratory experience, learning advanced techniques in biomaterials and bioprinting, and contributing to ongoing research projects are always welcome to get involved.

Undergraduate students can contact Dr. Solaiman Tarafder at solaiman.tarafder@sdstate.edu to discuss current opportunities and how they can become part of the lab’s research team.
