| Description of Research | |
| My interests fall within the rather broad areas of tissue engineering and biomaterials. My interests fall within the rather broad areas of tissue engineering and biomaterials. Tissue engineering may be defined as the application of quantitative engineering principles and techniques to the study and manipulation of living tissues and their constituent cells with the ultimate goal of producing either tissue repair or bioartificial organ substitutes. The design, modification and evaluation of bioactive and bioinert materials are an integral part of this effort. In general, my work involves studying and controlling the interactions of cells, natural and artificial polymers, and environmental factors with a view towards the development of tissue and organ replacement systems. My group has developed a focus on polysaccharide-based biomaterials for use in a variety of tissue engineering applications. | |
