The body is an astounding self-repairing system, but not all injuries can be healed without intervention. Taking advantage of world-renowned investigators and facilities in the creation of functional materials, biomedical engineers and scientists at Georgia Tech blend the fields of cell biology, physiology, and immunology with materials science and engineering to create new ways to induce the growth of functional tissues at sites of damage.
Combinations of natural or synthetic scaffold delivery platforms, bone grafting materials, and bioactive molecules such as bone morphogenetic…
