This proposal addresses the problem of maintaining viability and function of cells encapsulated within an immuno-isolation barrier material. The research will develop biosynthetic materials that are able to meet design criteria for an effective biomaterial for this application. The major benefits to Australia will be in improved health outcomes by providing safer, more efficacious materials, economic growth development of the Australian Medical Device industry and in high level training of researchers in this field.

该提案解决了维持免疫隔离屏障材料内包裹的细胞的活力和功能的问题。该研究将开发生物合成材料，这些材料能够满足用于该应用的有效生物材料的设计标准。澳大利亚的主要利益将是通过提供更安全，更有效的材料，澳大利亚医疗器械行业的经济增长和该领域研究人员的高水平培训来改善健康结果。
