Neural Tissue Engineering
Harini Sundararaghavan, an assistant professor in Wayne State University's Department of Biomedical Engineering, is working on neural tissue engineering in her lab to replace scar tissue with a more favorable material that neurons can grow on and reconnect healthy tissue. This research has implications for people with peripheral and spinal cord injuries.
