Canada Research Chair in Cellular, Biomaterial and Matrix Interaction

The overarching goal of the nominee¿s research program for the second term of his

chair will be to build upon the design strategies developed for soft tissue

engineering in the first term of the chair and to explore tissue engineering and

biomaterials science in the context of immunology. Five projects are proposed,

two of which extend the work from the previous term of the chair, and three that

delve into new research areas that will interface the biomaterials science and

tissue engineering expertise of the nominee¿s lab with leading-edge immunological

science through collaboration with prominent health science researchers.
