Date: January 26, 2024 at 2pm
Location: University of California San Diego at the FUNG Auditorium – PFBH
In a pioneering endeavor, Dr. Samantha Zambuto, PhD is set to deliver a transformative seminar, “Engineering Biomimetic Materials for Female Reproductive and Gynecologic Health,” on January 26, 2024 at 2pm, in the FUNG Auditorium – PFBH located at University of California San Diego. Focused on the historically understudied realms of female reproductive and gynecologic health, Dr. Zambuto will delve into the unique biomechanical environment of the female reproductive tract by utilizing gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels to mimic and, instruct, and define the cellular microenvironment. Through the synergistic techniques of tissue engineering, biomaterials science, biomechanics, and reproductive biology, her talk promises to unveil groundbreaking insights into pregnancy-related disorders and birth injuries. Dr. Zambuto’s use of GelMA hydrogels, biomimetic and bioactive, highlights the innovative approach to mimic and define the cellular microenvironment in the female reproductive tract. Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to gain profound insights into the future of women’s health research!
