Mentor: Giles Plant, Neurosurgery
Larry Ge in Dr. Plant's lab is investigating Schwann cell delivery within an injectable peptide hydrogel as a potential regenerative therapy for spinal cord injuries. He is optimizing hydrogel injection properties and evaluating the biocompatibility, bioresorption, and biodistribution of the hydrogel/Schwann cell construct within a rat cervical contusion spinal cord injury model.
Poster presented at the Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Symposium on August 27, 2014:
