We develop innovative and accessible biomaterial technologies
that can help overcome major challenges in regenerative medicine, improve the way drugs and therapies are developed and advance our understanding of key biological processes and disease.
We are an interdisciplinary and creative group
working at the interface of materials science, chemistry, biology, bioengineering, and medicine to develop technologies that bridge the gap between molecular design, multi-scale functionality, and societal impact.
To achieve this, we operate by connecting science, engineering, and the clinic.
