Biomaterial applications of synthetic elastin

这笔赠款将在两个已建立的实验室之间建立新的合作。韦斯实验室（合成弹性蛋白;悉尼大学，澳大利亚）将弹性蛋白材料发送到兰格实验室（生物技术和材料科学的接口;麻省理工学院，美国）。韦斯教授将参观兰格实验室，并接受培训，并参与合作使用既定的麻省理工学院的方法，将重点放在心脏组织工程，药物控释和声带修复的应用。麻省理工学院的研究小组将受益于澳大利亚开发的弹性蛋白材料的使用

The grant will develop a new collaboration between two established laboratories. The Weiss Lab (synthetic elastin; University of Sydney, Australia) will send elastin materials to the Langer Lab (interface of biotechnology and materials science; MIT, USA). Prof. Weiss will visit the Langer Lab and be trained in and participate collaboratively in the use of established MIT methodologies that will focus on applications in cardiac tissue engineering, controlled release of drugs and vocal fold repair. The MIT group will benefit from access to and the use of elastin materials that are developed in Australia
