BME Seminar: William Murphy, University of Wisconsin. "Bio-inspired Assembly of Functional Materials
Thursday May 15, 2008 at 4:00 PM — Tech M345
Control over the molecules that cells encounter in their local environment is a common theme in natural tissue development. Similarly, schemes to mimic development and “engineer” functional tissues are likely to benefit from control over the cell’s local signaling environment. This concept is particularly important in stem cell-based applications, in which local signaling can direct cell fate. We are interested in assembling biomaterials that are capable of actively communicating with stem cells. To achieve cell-material interaction, we use specific, reversible interactions to build biomaterials with new capabilities, including bio-responsiveness and regulated soluble signaling. Approaches highlighted in this talk will include non-covalent assembly of biomolecules (e.g. proteins, DNA) on engineered surfaces and within synthetic hydrogels.
