WHAT AND WHY:
A agile, implantable system that can deliver drugs and treatments at any rate. Depending on what drug you add, this could be used to treat pretty much anything. Right now - for way less gross skin grafts and to help bone heal!
SKILLS (non-technical): Modeling, polymer synthesis, mechanical testing
OUTCOME: A graft that can deliver drugs in any dose size and at any rate. Right now, this is being used to develop a synthetic periosteum to help bone grafts work! Also it’s being used as a synthetic skin graft for people with severe burns. Much less gross than a real skin graft. Look them up.
