Tissue Engineering Plenary
Dr. Ioannis Yannas
In this seminar, Ioannis Yannas, Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering, will discuss his recent research studies in the development of a restorable collagen device to assist in nerve regeneration following injuries to the peripheral nervous system and the investigation of the effect of a collagen-glycosaminoglycan (CG) matrix on the cytokine profile in wounds following full-thickness dermal injuries. See the full description of his research in the HST calendar.
Thu Jan 23, 02:30-04:00pm, 56-180
Leg Laboratory Plenary
Dr. Hugh Herr
In this seminar, Dr Hugh Hurr will discuss his work in the MIT Leg Laboratory, specifically his research into how the mechanics, energetics and control of locomotion are determined by speed, animal size and fundamental forces such as gravity and inertia; the development of an auto-adaptive knee prosthesis for trans-femoral amputees; and the design and construction of actin-myosin machines. See a more detailed description of this research in the
HST calendar of events.
