| Description: | Jie Song, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Orthopedics and Cell Biology University of Massachusetts Medical School Departments of Orthopedics and Cell Biology University of Massachusetts Medical School Regenerative medicine aspires to reduce reliance on or overcome limitations associated with donor tissue-mediated repair. A major roadblock in translating scaffold-based regenerative medicine into clinical practice is the lack of materials combining tissue-like mechanical and biochemical properties with desirable surgical handling characteristics to enable their safe delivery and integration with target tissue. Nanostructured material design platform provides a unique opportunity to integrate physical, biochemical, and mechanical signals for complex regenerative medicine applications. In this talk, I will 1) discuss the design and application of an elastomeric osteoconductive nanocomposite for the repair of volumetric bone loss, and 2) highlight a nanoparticle-mediated strategy towards high-performance shape memory polymer implants.
