Overview

Welcome to the Tissue Instructive Materials (TIMs) lab at Drexel University.

Our research focuses on the development of dynamic biomaterials and their application to address challenges in the area of immunoengineering, organ injury, and cardiovascular disease. To do this, we use a variety of techniques that integrate drug discovery and development, supramolecular or spatiotemporally controlled chemistries, and drug delivery systems.
