| Biomimetic Approaches to Biomaterials Design | ||
| Efrosini Kokkoli, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455 A common theme in bioengineering is to modify the biomaterial surface to interact selectively with cell types through biomolecular recognition events. This tutorial will discuss a promising approach where biomimetic peptides are used as building blocks for biomaterials functionalization. Extended Abstract Status: Not Uploaded | ||
