Grant Activity:
Biomimetic hybrid elastomers as reformable bio-adhesive platform
Purpose:
The project aims to create a bio-adhesive platform from programmable fusion proteins which entails fast regulation of wet adhesion on diverse surfaces yet allows for movement during the repair. Bio-adhesives are a currently unmet clinical need for mending soft tissues in many fields. This project expects to circumvent the issue with biomimetic glues that combine stable adhesive and cohesive bonds. The expected outcome is a versatile protein mimicry platform to deliver the next generation of bio-adhesives with tunable flexibility and wet adhesion. The project should provide tremendous opportunities for this unique gel family in tissue adhesion/repair and as implantable bio-adhesives.
