While the potential for biomaterial-based strategies to improve and extend the quality of human health through tissue regeneration and the treatment of disease continues to grow, the majority of current strategies rely on outdated technology initially developed and optimized for starkly different applications. Therefore, the DeForest Group seeks to integrate the governing principles of rational design with fundamental concepts from material science, synthetic chemistry, and stem cell biology to conceptualiz
We have been awarded a Collaboration Innovation Award from the Institute for Translational Health Sciences for our work with Prof. Laura Crisa . Here's to a fun and productive project!
A warm welcome to Rossana Scavone, a Chemical Engineering Masters student performing thesis research in our group. Rossana is supported through a Fulbright scholarship from Uruguay ! Great to have you here, Rossana!
