My project focuses on the design and characterization of a
tissue engineering scaffold composed of artificial proteins.
Specifically I have looked into how varying the content of the protein
polymers can be used to control scaffold properties such as
degradability, mechanical strength, and cell adhesivity. These
scaffolds are being designed for use in studying spinal cord nerve
regeneration strategies.
