We are engineering biomaterials and surfaces to guide cellular fate. We mimic specific features of natural tissues, notably their biochemical and physical properties. Using stem cells and engineered biomaterials, we perform fundamental studies
in vitro in collaboration with biochemists and cell biologists, and applied studies
in vivo in collaboration with clinicians. We aim to understand how growth factors, chemokines, adhesion proteins and glycosaminoglycans can cooperate in the extracellular matrix (ECM) to orient cell fate. We optimize 3D scaffolds for applications in regenerative medicine for bone tissue engineering and cancer therapeutics.
