This talk will present our recent advances in designing polymer materials for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. We are developing biointerfaces with interesting features such as the incorporation of biological and topographical cues to enhance tissue regeneration and cell differentiation, and hydrogel-based materials with shape-memory and self-healing properties. We are exploiting the use of remote fields including acoustic and magnetic waves to manipulate cells and nanoparticles to obtain 3D structures that more closely resemble natural tissues. We are developing high-throughput synthesis of polymersomes with exciting applications as drug and vaccine delivery vehicles. Advances in microfabrication and 3D printing strategies will be discussed.
