Dr. Harley has received a 2-year grant from the AO Foundation entitled ‘Multi-scale PCL-collagen composites for large bone defect repair.’ Working with Dr. Matt Wheeler (Illinois) and Dr. Scott Hollister (Michigan), the goal of this effort is to demonstrate a multi-scale collagen-PCL construct able to enhance mandibular bone repair while retaining mechanical integrity.
