Engineering for Good with Ramesh Rao - Science Like Me

Dr. Jennifer Elisseeff is the director of the Translational Tissue Engineering Center, a collaboration between the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Wilmer Eye Institute. The lab develops new biomaterials, study stem cells and design new technologies for regenerative medicine. The goal of her lab is to engineer technologies to repair lost tissues. Her lab is examining hydrogels as a scaffold for tissue engineering. Hydrogels are ideal due to their high water content for nutrient and waste transport, and their ability to encapsulate cells and to implant in a minimally invasive manner. The lab is currently focused on developing synthetic-biological hydrogels with highly controlled physical properties and biological function. The discovery of human embryonic stem cells has created the possibility to regenerate any tissue from a single, totipotent cell population.
