Messersmith Research Group: Northwestern University

Current Research Topics

The Messersmith group seeks to utilize biologically inspired strategies to develop new biomaterials for the repair, replacement, or augmentation of human tissue. The use of biological strategies to synthesize and/or process materials (biomimetics) is a rapidly emerging area of materials science and biomaterials research.
