SUMMARY:BME Seminar: "Biomodulatory Materials"
DESCRIPTION:Bret Ulery\, Ph.D.\nAssociate Professor\nChemical &amp\; Biomed
 ical Engineering\nUniversity of Missouri\n\nAbstract: As the medical engin
 eering community tackles grand challenges like intracellular drug delivery
  and complex tissue regeneration\, strategies employing inert biomaterials
  passively delivering singular pharmaceutical payloads have been found to 
 be sub-optimal. Instead novel\, multi-dimensional strategies need to be de
 veloped in order to achieve the next series of biomedical breakthroughs. O
 ne emerging strategy is the exploitation of the physicochemical properties
  of biomaterials to directly modulate cellular and host responses giving r
 ise to a unique sub-class of biomaterials termed biomodulatory materials. 
 In this seminar\, research designing and utilizing biomodulatory materials
  for regenerative medicine and immunological applications will be discusse
 d.\n\nBio: Bret Ulery is the Principal Investigator of the Biomodulatory M
 aterials Engineering Laboratory\, the Founding Director of Materials Scien
 ce &amp\; Engineering Graduate Studies\, and an Associate Professor of Che
 mical &amp\; Biomedical Engineering at the University of Missouri. After e
 arning a B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering and a B.S. in Biochemistry from th
 e University of Iowa in 2006\, he conducted graduate research with Dr. Bal
 aji Narasimhan at Iowa State University and received his Ph.D. in Chemical
  Engineering with a Graduate Minor in Immunobiology in 2010. Following com
 pletion of his doctoral studies\, he spent four years as a postdoctoral re
 searcher first working in Dr. Cato Laurencin’s research group at the Ins
 titute for Regenerative Engineering at the University of Connecticut Healt
 h Center and then in Dr. Matt Tirrell’s group at the Institute for Molec
 ular Engineering at the University of Chicago.
