Galway, Ireland is the lastest site for IGERT fellow Hannah Strobel’s International Research

Posted in Research

National University of Ireland, Galway is the site of your most recent collaboration for our IGERT student’s international research. Hannah Strobel is spending four months in Galway conducting research with Professor Abhay Pandit. In his lab Hannah is performing experiments to optimize fibrin microspheres for incorporation in self-assembled smooth muscle cell rings. These rings may ultimately be used for formation of tissue engineered blood vessels. Fibrin microsphere incorporation may increase collagen deposition to strengthen the rings, or potentially be used for growth factor delivery.
