Reseach Interest
  • Engineering novel materials and therapeutic systems to stimulate damaged peripheral and spinal neurons to regenerate.
  • Electrically conducting polymers and natural-based materials (e.g., hyaluronic acid-based biomaterials, decellularized tissues) to create therapies that can electrically, chemically, biologically and mechanically trigger neurons, at both the macroscopic and nanometer-scales.
