Dr. Browne was recently invited to present at Beaumont Hospital by Dr. Killian Hurley and his group. Dr. Hurley and his group focus on the use of patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) for the study of various lung diseases. Dr. Browne presented our group’s work on the development of hyaluronic acid (HyA) hydrogels as therapeutics and as tunable synthetic extracellular matrices (sECM) for in vitro modelling.
