ACTIVE RESEARCH
Biomaterials with Defined Nanoscale Properties to Control Cell Behavior
Developing novel biomaterial systems that can present structural, mechanical, and biologically active signals to cells on the nanoscale; studying how the precise spatial and temporal presentation of these signals can regulate cellular behavior for tissue engineering applications. |
 |
POTENTIAL IMPACT
This research will help to elucite how cells respond to nanoscale signals in their microenvironment. A better understanding of how these signals influence the function of cells will enable the design of improved tissue regeneration technologies.
