Design of porous hydrogels for biomedical applications

Biocompatible hydrogels have been used for a long time in biomedical applications (e.g. microcarriers for adherent cell growth; drug delivery vehicles). For these applications, controlled pore size and pore interconnectivity are important parameters. The project aims at better characterizing several physicochemical strategies for pore generation. Then, as second objective, the influence of pore size upon cell growth/survival or drug delivery will be studied.
