Researchers Develop Thermo-Responsive Protein Hydrogel
BROOKLYN, New York, Tuesday, September 17, 2019 - Imagine a perfectly biocompatible, protein-based drug delivery system durable enough to survive in the body for more than two weeks and capable of providing sustained medication release. An interdisciplinary research team led by Jin Kim Montclare, a professor of biomolecular and chemical engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, has created the first protein-engineered hydrogel that meets those criteria, advancing an area of biochemistry critical to not only to the future of drug delivery but tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
