The Guelcher laboratory designs and develops biomaterials and drug delivery systems that enhance healing of tissue damaged by trauma or disease. Current projects include design of injectable tissue grafts for healing bone in challenging environments, including weight-bearing anatomic sites, defects contaminated by bacteria, and large tissue voids resulting from extremity and craniofacial trauma.
