About the Research
Research Theme
Development of biomaterials for neural regeneration
Keyword
neural regeneration, tissue engineering
Research Outline
The nerve is one of the most difficult organs to apply to regenerative medicine because of its low regenerative capacity and its complex structure. The aim of my research is to develop new culture substrates with high adhesion to neurons and high biocompatibility, and to apply them to neural regeneration.
