- 16 November 2017
Congratulations to our PhD Arturo Jose Mendoza Meinhardt, who has won the prize for the best poster given at the 2017 Autumn Industrial Liaison Forum of the School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London on November 12th, for his poster titled ‘Peptide Amphiphiles as a Platform for the Manipulation of Protein Conformation’.
Patent granted: Method for manufacturing a three-dimensional biomimetic scaffold and uses thereof
- 30 June 2017
A US Patent has been assigned to Queen Mary University of London, listing Alvaro Mata and PhD Student Juan Pablo Aguilar as inventors. In particular, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing three-dimensional (3D) biomimetic scaffolds that employs electrical fields to pattern hydrogels with different molecules. The 3D biomimetic scaffold of the invention shows potential for
