Research:
I am using inkjet printing
to create immobilized patterns of growth factors onto physiologically-relevant
substrates to direct cell fate including migration, proliferation, and
differentiation. The growth factors
are bound to the printing surface via native affinity which eliminates the need
for protein modification or chemical crosslinking.
