Biomaterials and Stem Cell Therapies for Biomedical Applications

Deepti Singh is a bioengneer who has been exploring the application of polymeric materials in restoring or repairing injured tissues and organs. With a Ph.D in genetics and biotechnology, she has worked extenisively for the last decade to develop functional biomimetic that can enhance differeniation of embyronic stem cells into desired linage. This book focuses on interesting and new aspects of biomaterial design and its applications. With the emergence of bio-ink, 3D printing could potentially change the entire apporach of regenerative medicine in which instead of restoring and repairing, the disease tissue can be replaced. Pierre C Dromel (M.Sc., Ph.D.) is a bioengineer with a M.Sc. in Material Science from ENPC (France), a M.Sc. in Neurotechnology from Imperial College London and a Ph.D. from MIT on Biomaterials and stem cell therapies and currently is a Research Fellow at Schepens Eye Research Institute of Harvard Medical School. He has used his multi-disciplinary set of skills to actively participate in the discovery of novel treatments using biomaterials-based stem cell therapies for retinal regeneration. Finding new type of delivery vehicle has allowed him to proof the protection of injected cells and their engraftment enhancement. Dr. Daniel J. Thomas (BEng (Hons) MSc EngD CSci CEng CEnv FBCS) is an Engineer and Writer who comes from a research background in computational design, biomaterials, 3D Printing, electronics and surgery disciplines. He has Authored two previous medical books and has published 70 journal publications. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=OE_l9JoAAAAJ&hl=en
