RESBIO's Mission and People




MISSION

RESBIO's mission is to accelerate the discovery of polymeric biomaterials to facilitate the development of regenerative therapies and advanced drug delivery systems.

  • Identifying new synthetic methods to increase the number and chemical diversity of candidate polymers and devices for exploration
  • Expanding our understanding of cell-material interactions
  • Developing computational design methods for the discovery of new polymeric biomaterials and comput>ational tools to predict the success of biomaterials in specific medical applications.
