Engineering Advanced Materials for Neural Regeneration

Damage to peripheral nerve and spinal cord tissue can have a devastating impact on the quality of life for individuals suffering from nerve injuries. Our research broadly encompasses analyzing and designing natural-based and electrically conducting biomaterials that can interface with neurons to stimulate and guide nerves to regenerate. This talk will specifically address our work on natural-based biomaterials for both peripheral nerve and spinal cord applications.
