Bio/Research
From biomedical devices to drug delivery to regenerative medicine (tissue engineering), biomaterials are serving increasingly complex roles. Beyond merely providing structure, biomaterials are now integrated as scaffolds or particles that deliver biologically active agents (cells, drugs or antigens) in “combination products”. Thus, the body’s response to the biomaterial will govern the effectiveness of these next generation applications. I am interested in exploring the causes and effects of the host response to biomaterials in order to guide future design using biology as a framework.
