John Hopkins University's Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Laboratory

Biomaterials, tissue engineering

The group of J. Elisseeff is developing hydrogels for tissue engineering applications for cartilage repair. In addition, fundamentals and mechanisms of tissue engineering are studied in novel scaffold systems using cell and molecular biology.

The lab is dedicated to determining conditions for stem cell differentiation using simply biological cues, materials, and niche microenvironments with complex cues. In addition, the group focuses on new materials that can degrade in response to tissue development and naturally occurring biopolymers whose degradation products can be incorporated into the new tissue.
