| Description: |
In our lab we focus on low-temperature processes for disinfection and sterilization
of biomedical materials and devices, and on decellularization of naturally-derived
tissue engineering scaffolds. These processes are enabled by utilizing compressed
liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide as the main solvent. Research in this lab requires
understanding fundamentals including phase equilibrium thermodynamics, cell microbiology,
biochemistry and structureal mechanics of tissues. We collaborate with the UofSC School
of Medicine on these projects. |
