Funded Activity Summary

Nerve regeneration using light responsive hydrogels and stem cells. Diseases of the brain and mind are already the single largest burden of disease in the western world, being greater than cardiac or malignant disease. With Australia's ageing demographic, diseases of the brain and mind will continue to outstrip all other medical causes of loss of productive working life and quality of life. This proposal will confront this serious issue using nanostructured intelligent materials, moving towards the realization of effective stem cell therapies.
