Researchers: Dr Brett Frenkiel (Principal investigator)

Brief description My research will focus on the development and in vivo testing of cytokine cross-linked surgical implant materials in selected mouse and rat models. We hypothesise that Follistatin bound to heparin sulphate cross-linked natural and synthetic matrix implants will suppress the formation of Extra cellular matrix around the implant during wound healing in a mouse surgical model.
