Congrats to current trainee Jackie Pence, along with lab alum Emily Gonnerman (MS, 2011) and collaborator Ryan Bailey, for acceptance of our article, ‘Strategies to balance covalent and non-covalent biomolecule attachment within collagen-GAG biomaterials,’ in Biomaterial Science. Some really careful experiments aimed at understanding the balance between specific patterning vs. non-specific biofouling of charged biomolecules to the surface of collagen biomaterials.
