About this research area
We develop cutting-edge strategies to treat and restore damaged tissues and organs by leveraging biomaterials and biomanufacturing innovations. This research seeks to support complex disease treatment by enhancing the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms.
- Targeted delivery of drugs and biologics
- In vitro disease models
- Regeneration of tissues
- Cell and tissue manufacturing and biofabrication
- Hemostasis and wound healing
