Modulating Neuroinflammation with Porous Templated Scaffolds
… and Dr. James Bryers to study the effects of porous hydrogels on the foreign body reaction in the central nervous system, and how they might improve regeneration after spinal cord injury and glial scarring around implanted cortical recording devices. We observed reduced astrocyte encapsulation …

Synthesis and characterization of thermosensitive hydrogels derived from polysaccharides
In this work, thermosensitive hydrogels having tunable thermo-mechanical properties were synthesized. Generally the thermal transition of thermosensitive hydrogels is based on either a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) or critical micelle concentration/ temperature (CMC/ CMT). The …

Microfluidic processes to create structured microparticle arrangements and their applications
… and development of a new microfluidic platform, porous microwell arrays, to create structured large-scale microparticle arrays using a scaling theory, which is a function of particles' characteristics. Lastly, we demonstrate the potential of generated particle arrays in various bioengineering …

Polymers as directing agents for motions of chemical and biological species
… interactions with end-grafted PNIPAM brushes. 3D porous materials on solid surfaces were built to mimic the corneal basement membrane so that we can monitor direction of the corneal epithelia cells behaviors as the surface topography changes. We have used colloidal crystal templating approach to …
