Sensing Biomaterials Topographies Through Mechanotransduction in Engineered Cell Niche

Presented By: Evelyn KF Yim, PhD Speaker Biography: Dr. Evelyn Yim is Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and a member of the Waterloo Institute of Nanotechnology and Centre of Bioengineering and Biotechnology at the University of Waterloo. Experienced with nanofabrication technologies and stem cell culture, Evelyn and her group are interested to apply the knowledge biomaterial-stem cell interaction to direct stem cell differentiation and tissue regeneration for the applications in neural regeneration, vascular and corneal tissue engineering. Webinar: Sensing Biomaterials Topographies Through Mechanotransduction in Engineered Cell Niche Webinar Abstract: Stem cells respond to both physical and biochemical changes in their stem cell niche. An ideal scaffold for tissue engineering application should mimic the microenvironment for natural tissue development and present the appropriate biochemical and topographical cues in a spatially controlled manner. Studies have shown that physical forces from the substrate topography play a role in stem cell proliferation, migration and cell fate determination. Our research group is interested in studying the interactions of adult and pluripotent stem cells with nanotopography, the mechanism of the topography-induced cell behavior and how to apply this knowledge to direct stem cell differentiation for tissue engineering applications. In this presentation, nanotopography-regulation on adult stem cells and pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) will be presented as examples of applying nanotopography in stem cell regulation.
