| | Welcome to The Tissue Engineering & Biomaterials Laboratory Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science | |
| Our research is focused on the application of biologically active polysaccharide materials and adult stem cells to problems in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We aim to apply engineering principles to the study and manipulation of living cells with the ultimate goal of producing tissue regeneration, repair, or in vitro tissue models. The design, synthesis and evaluation of biologically active materials are integral parts of this effort. Among natural polymers, the ionic polysaccharides known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are of particular interest in our work. We are currently examining their use as components of tissue scaffolds for a number of tissue repair and regeneration projects. | | |

| Professor Matthew has been featured in a short video in his Tissue engineering and biomaterials lab that will be used along with other WSU videos for future students recruitment to WSU Congratulation to Dr. Therese Bou-Akl for accepting a postdoctoral position in Dr. Pamela VandeVord's lab Regular lab meetings for Fall 2010 semester will be on Thursdays at 10:00Am in the Engineering Development Center (EDC), Room 2519. Schedule has been updated and sent out to all lab members The Tissue Engineering and the Biomaterials Lab welcomes Dalia Al-Zebdeh, Elie Zakhem and Oskana Blowytsky to the Matthew's Group Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials lab has moved to Marvin Danto Engineering and Development Center | |
