SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Tissue-Inspired Synthetic Biomaterials" (Shelly Peyton)
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom – check your email for the zoom link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. \nImproved experimental model systems are critically needed to better understand cancer progression and bridge the gap between lab bench proof-of-concept studies\, validation in animal models\, and eventual clinical application. Many methods exist to create biomaterials\, including hydrogels\, which we use to study cells in contexts more akin to what they experience in the human body. Our lab has multiple approaches to create such biomaterials\, based on combinations of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with peptides and zwitterions. In this presentation\, I will discuss our synthetic approaches to building life-like materials\, how we use these systems to grow cells and understand how a cell’s environment\, particularly the extracellular matrix regulates cancer cell growth\, dormancy\, and drug sensitivity.
