Research Summary
The Leach laboratory is interested in determining the proper mixture of stimulatory signals to induce the formation and regeneration of a variety of tissues. We utilize our expertise in biomaterials, drug and gene delivery, and mammalian cell culture to develop model systems for the investigation of tissue regeneration. We have ongoing projects in the engineering of numerous tissues including bone, blood vessels, cornea, and wound healing.
