Hydrogel Injection Molding
The Weaver Lab has developed a method to reproducibly generate complex hydrogel and/or cell construct geometries via an injection molding process. This rapid biofabrication technique can be performed by a minimally trained user in diverse settings (e.g. clinic or laboratory) with a diverse set of synthetic or natural hydrogel materials. Recently published in ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering.
Generating Hydrogels of Complex Geometries
We aim to build on the complexity of our hydrogel/cell constructs by adding dimension and integrating diverse hydrogels.
