The Problem
Complex Tissue Injury and Lack of Effective Repair
Injuries are a ubiquitous fact of life. However, despite multiple millions of new cases each year and several billions of dollars in annual health care costs, there are no effective treatments for complex many types of complex injuries, such as those in the skin and spinal cord.
Our Approach
- Development of novel biomaterial scaffolds with enhanced and expanded functionality to promote tissue repair and regeneration.
- Controlled delivery of bioactives to stimulate reparative pathways.
- Identification and development of novel bioactive agents by reverse-engineering both dysfunctional signaling observed in the disease state and activated pathways stimulated by effective biomaterial treatments.
