Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering 2224 Lurie Biomedical Engineering 1101 Beal Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2110 Phone: (734) 764-7740 Email: rhimacol@umich.edu Website: www.bme.umich.edu/labs/colemanlab/ More Info: Articular cartilage lines the surface of long bones in joints and facilitates joint motion with a nearly frictionless surface that allows the bones to slide against one another. Traumatic cartilage injuries have a limited capacity to heal without medical intervention and can result in debilitating diseases, such as osteoarthritis, which are marked loss of mobility of the affected joint. Tissue engineering is a viable treatment option to repair these injuries. Development of a functional replacement for cartilage ultimately involves manipulating cell behavior so that the correct extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are assembled and maintained at physiologic ratios and distributions to produce a biological tissue that closely matches native cartilage in its load bearing capacity. My research is focused on investigation 2 key areas of manipulating cell behavior for cartilage tissue regeneration: 1) genetic reprogramming of cells; and 2) cell-matrix interactions. Research Areas: Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. |

To achieve this goal, his lab designs and synthesizes novel polymeric carriers that can effectively shuttle anticancer, antiviral, and nucleic acid drugs to the desired therapeutic targets. One example of Dr. El-Sayed's research projects involves the development of nano-sized polymer-anticancer drug conjugates that can selectively accumulate and release the loaded drug into hepatic cancer cells, which is a novel and promising approach for treatment of primary liver cancer. Another example involves the formulation of "smart" particles that can successfully shuttle large doses of nucleic acid drugs into breast cancer cells to "silence" the expression of faulty genes and trigger cancer cell death.

Specifically our laboratory investigates 2 aspects of biomineralization (i.e. how bones, teeth and seashells are formed). First, we seek to understand how the organization of mineralized tissues results in mechanical competence and, conversely, how with aging and disease alterations in organization result in increased susceptibility to fracture. Second, we seek to utilize aspects of biomineralization as a design basis for developing biomaterials that can control cell and molecular function. A more long-term, applied and clinically-motivated goal is to ultimately utilize this information to develop approaches to replace and/or regenerate tissues. Dr. Kohn teaches courses on biomaterials, tissue engineering and biomedical design in both the College of Engineering and School of Dentistry. Research Areas: Biomaterials, Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, Organ and Whole Body Biomechanics, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. |

The group's work is loosely organized on three themes: the physics of gelation of immobolization matrices for both cells and therapeutics, the evolving structural evolution of amyloid proteins induced gels and aggregates, and the linkages among mechanical manipulation of cells, cell constructs, and immobolized cells. Our primary analytical tools include rheometry, DSC, and x-ray scattering. We have also built our own mechanical probes for microtiter plates in both compression and shear and are developing alternative mathematical models to describe biophysical changes arising during gelation. Functionally, we are formulating fluid dispersions deployed as injectables for localized and fixed drug delivery systems, benign cellular immobilization matrices for tissue engineering, and probing the biophysics of protein aggregation. Our development of benign cellular immobilization matrices offers hope of a platform technology that could be used with different cells. Research Areas: Biomaterials, Molecular and Cellular Biomechanics. |

Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering 2126 Lurie Biomedical Engineering 1101 Beal Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2110 Phone: (734) 615-3360 Email: shikanov@umich.edu Website: www.bme.umich.edu/labs/shikanov/ More Info: The research of Dr. Shikanov translates the principles of biomaterials science and tissue engineering to the field of reproductive biology. The goal of this research is to preserve fertility in cancer patients by creating an artificial environment that supports in vitro folliculogenesis and subsequent growth of an artificial ovary. Sustaining ovarian follicle culture is a bioengineering challenge due to the unique spatio-temporal dynamics with respect to the developmental stage of the ovarian follicle. Design of tunable and functional hydrogels that support and direct biological functions can address this challenge. Other research projects include tumor engineering and reproductive toxicology. The former aims to screen anticancer drug efficacy using 3D hydrogel-based culture systems of in vitro grown tumors. The latter predicts and correlates the effects of various toxins on reproductive system in a biologically relevant environment mimicking in vivo conditions. This approach allows omitting time and resource consuming animal experiments in the screening process.

In each species, his group has investigated the changes that occur in motor unit number, size and function in specific limb muscles throughout the life span and of the effects of training programs on the age-related changes. Specific knock-outs of selected metabolic pathways in the muscles of mice have enabled investigations of the role of reactive oxygen species in the age-related changes.
