Developing a new generation of scientists and an infrastructure for researchers in the state of South Carolina.
About SCBioMat
We strive to find better treatments for human diseases by fostering interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers and enhancing interdependent intellectual capital and resources within the state of South Carolina.
The center comprehensively mentors target investigators toward independence as NIH-funded researchers in regenerative medicine and recruits outstanding junior and senior investigators in regenerative medicine.
Three main cores of the center focus on:
Materials Synthesis, Characterization, and Testing
Cell and Molecular Engineering
Histology and Imaging
Seven current SCBioMat research projects, including two pilot projects, dedicated to tissue regeneration research are:
Stem cell-myocyte electrical coupling via a laser patterned cell bridge
Biomaterials for guided neural regeneration
Understanding and Controlling Tissue-specific Vascular Patterning
Enabling technology for brain tissue regeneration after stroke
Mechanically guided urological tissue regeneration in vitro
Improved reactor control for stem cell expansion to meet therapeutic needs
Nanoparticles for targeted delivery of neuroprotective antioxidant enzymes to CNS
