Brief description Engineering biomaterials that actively promote blood vessel growth. This project aims to improve understanding of the effect of biomaterials on vascular growth & to develop new biomimetic materials using natural polymers silk & gelatin. It expects to generate new knowledge in biomaterials, matrix biology & advanced material processing. Expected outcomes include new knowledge & technological advances in biomaterial-driven vascular growth, porous material manufacture, & proteoglycan-mediated growth factor signalling, as well as cross-disciplinary, international collaboration & research training. This should provide significant benefit to Australia’s scholarly output & reputation & long term benefits to biomedical, veterinary, cosmetic, & food industries through new materials & processing technologies.
Funding Amount $944,000
