Cells in Jello: How can we use
biomaterials to better understand
disease
Irina Kopyeva
Postdoctoral Researcher
Department of Biomedical Engineering
Cornell University
Hydrogels—water-swollen polymeric networks
—are all around us in our daily lives, from
contact lenses to boba tea! They also make for
excellent mimics of the squishy and watery
nature of the tissues in our bodies. In this talk,
I'll touch upon how we use these materials for
understanding disease progression, and even
how we can use them to 3D print organs!
