Research Focus
Dr. Taylor H Ware's lab focuses on developing innovative solutions for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. They are creating a new type of dynamic midurethral sling that can change shape and support dynamically, helping to improve patient comfort and reduce complications compared to current static options. This research integrates engineering and biology to create smarter medical devices that better meet patients' needs.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
