Dr. Robert Langer - Biomaterials and How They Will Change Our Lives

Dr. Robert Langer's talk is the inaugural keynote for a new Invitrogen-UC San Diego Frontiers in Biotechnology Distinguished Seminar Series, organized by the Jacobs School of Engineering and sponsored by Invitrogen.

Advances in drug delivery and tissue engineering are revolutionizing medical therapies. New drug delivery technologies including novel polymers and intelligent microchips promise to create new treatments for cancer, heart disease and many other illnesses. Furthermore, by combining mammalian cells with synthetic polymers, new approaches for engineering tissues are being developed that may someday help repair tissues for patients with burns, damaged cartilage, paralysis and vascular disease.
