Department of Cellular Biophysics My project was at the interface of biophysical chemistry, material sciences and cell biology, and I have focused on understanding the roles of hyaluronic acid in wound healing. I constructed tunable biointerfaces to study hyaluronic acid protein interactions in real time and developed novel biomaterial platforms.
