Smart materials that can reversibly change their properties in response to changes in their environment (e.g. temperature, pH, chemical concentrations, magnetic fields, or light) offer significant potential in biomedical applications, with particular promise in enabling the development of drug delivery vehicles with improved targeted and/or time-dependent drug dosing and tissue engineering scaffolds with well-controlled cell-scaffold interactions.Research in the Hoare lab is focused on coupling engineering approaches (including high-throughput screening and statistical analysis) with advanced physical characterization of smart materials to identify optimized smart material chemistries and structures with customized and/or novel properties for targeted applications.

智能材料可以根据环境的变化可逆地改变其特性（例如温度、pH、化学浓度、磁场或光）在生物医学应用中提供了巨大的潜力，特别有希望能够开发具有改进的靶向和/或时间依赖性药物给药的药物递送载体和具有良好控制的细胞的组织工程支架，Hoare实验室的研究重点是将工程方法（包括高通量筛选和统计分析）与智能材料的高级物理表征相结合，以识别具有定制和/或新颖特性的优化智能材料化学和结构，用于目标应用。
