2017年5月15日,苏州大学骨科研究所邀请了美国密歇根大学Peter X. Ma 教授来我所交流访问并做专题报告,研究所教职工及骨科研究生参加了该报告。
Peter X. Ma教授的报告题目为“Biomimetic materials for regeneration”(仿生支架在组织工程再生中的应用)。他从模拟组织基质微环境的角度出发,利用可降解聚合物,开发出一系列具有微/纳米结构、多孔连通结构的3D仿生支架,应用于骨科、牙科、颅面、心血管及椎间盘等的修复。同时结合小分子如miRNA、PDGF、PTH,达到小分子的长期缓释及不同释放模式(如脉冲释放、持续释放)的效果,进一步丰富了通过材料进行组织修复治疗的方式。Peter X. Ma教授的每部分工作均具有引领性效果,引导了组织工程支架的发展模式,扩展了仿生组织制备的领域范围,对大家的研究具有极好的启迪作用。
附:学者简介
Professor Peter X. Ma is the Richard H Kingery Endowed Collegiate Professor of Biologic and Materials Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and the Macromolecular Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research is in the areas of biomaterials, biomedical polymers, controlled release, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. He pioneers biomimetic scaffold development to design microenvironment for cells and tissue regeneration. He also develops controlled delivery systems for non-viral nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, and small molecules in sustained, pulsatile, and targeted fashions.
Dr. Ma received a Whitaker Foundation Biomedical Engineering Young Investigator Award, a DuPont Young Professor Award, a Distinguished Scientist Award (Isaac Schour Memorial Award) from International Association of Dental Research, and a Clemson Award from the Society for Biomaterials. He was named one of the Top 100 materials scientists in the world by Thomson Reuters. He is an elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering, Fellow of the Materials Research Society, Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science.
