Description

Programming physical and biological cues to promote vessel growth . This project aims to engineer new hydrogel-based biomaterials that allow spatio-temporal modulation of physical and biological cues to direct blood vessels growth, as well as compatible with advanced bioprinting platforms. It will generate new knowledge in biomaterials, biofabrication and advanced material processing. Expected outcomes include new knowledge in biomaterial-vascular interaction, novel vascular bioinks, cross-disciplinary, international collaboration and research training. This project will provide significant benefit to Australia's scholarly output and reputation, as well as long term benefits to biomedical, veterinary and cosmetic through new materials and cutting-edge manufacturing platforms. . Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4003 - Biomedical Engineering. Lead: Prof Khoon Lim
