[Alchemist Cafe]

May 2012′s Alchemist Cafe

Every day thousands of surgical procedures are performed to replace
or
repair tissue that has been damaged through disease or trauma. There
is now a developing field of tissue engineering that aims to
regenerate damaged tissues by using cells from the body with
biomaterials to promote and guide the growth of the new tissue.


Prof. Fergal O’Brien from the Trinity Centre for Bioengineering and
the Dept. of Anatomy, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland will be
discussing the state of play and where the field is going in the
future and what he hopes will be areas that will help the field
flourish.


You can hear Prof. O’Brien interviewed on Scibernia in April here.
