BioE Seminar Series: Promoting Tissue Healing and Regeneration Using Peptide-Modified Glycosaminoglycans

Presenter: Alyssa Panitch, PhD, Edward Teller Professor and Department Chair, Department of Biomedical Engineering & Department of Surgery, University of California-Davis

The Panitch Lab focuses on the design of biopolymers that improve tissue healing and regeneration. The lab focuses on both intracellular and extracellular approaches to direct molecular and cellular processes. Broadly, the goal is to limit scar formation-be it vascular intimal hyperplasia, dermal scarring, fibrocartilage, pulmonary fibrosis or surgical adhesions-while promoting tissue repair.
