An interview with bioengineering pioneer Kevin Healy
In the fourth in her series on “What drives research in the field of biomaterials?” blogger Hamideh Emrani interviews Professor Kevin E. Healy at the University of California, Berkeley. You can catch up on Hamideh’s earlier interviews here. I met Professor Kevin Healy at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the Jan Fandrianto Distinguished […]
Right Turn: The art of scientific communication
I’ve been blogging about some of the talks that I heard at the recent Till & McCulloch Meetings (TMM) in Toronto, Canada. Maybe you’ve read them (featuring speakers Molly Shoichet and Milica Radisic)? For this blog, I want to take a different focus. TMM is diverse and caters to delegates interested in talks and debates […]
A hydrogel for the injured brain and eye
Continuing with the theme of interesting biomaterials-related talks at the recent Till & McCulloch Meetings in Toronto, Canada, was the one delivered by Professor Molly Shoichet from the University of Toronto. Her group focuses on designing polymer scaffolds to deliver drugs and cells as part of regenerative medicine strategies for the repair and restoration of […]
Mending a hole in the heart
Among many interesting talks at this year’s Till and McCulloch Meetings in Toronto, Canada, there were a couple related to biomaterials, which I’d like to focus on. In the first talk, professor Milica Radisic, University of Toronto, talked about two recent developments in her lab. Her research focus is on designing biomaterials that can be […]
Studying the brain needs an “open mind”
Another in the series: “What Drives Research in the Field of Biomaterials?” The amazingly complex system of the brain, and its network of many different cell types interacting and functioning together, has always been “top of mind” – pardon the pun – for many researchers. It is just a little over 10 years since Professor […]
