Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar, "Towards building tissues: engineering complexity through biomaterial design"

Mar 07, 2019 (Thu) | 4:00 PM -5:00 PM
James H. Clark Center, 318 Campus Drive, Seminar Room S360 : Stanford, CA

Refreshments to be served at 3:45 PM; seminar begins at 4:00 PM. Given tissues are dynamic, spatially-patterned, and inhomogeneous over multiple length and time scales, Dr. Harley's lab is developing new approaches to engineer biomaterials at the structural and biomolecular level to replicate these heterogeneities. Their efforts seek to provide new insight regarding the degree of biomaterial complexity required to instruct cell behavior in the context of development, disease, and regeneration. He will describe a collagen biomaterial under development to address barriers preventing regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues such as orthopedic insertions and craniomaxillofacial bones.
