My project explores the use of PAmAm hydrogels as three-dimensional scaffolds for cell growth and for investigating the in vitro and in vivo response of cells to the material. At the current state of the art, hydrogel applications are limited by their mechanical properties, in particular their lack of elasticity. The aim of the PhD project is the development of novel hybrid biocompatible hydrogels with tailored chemical and mechanical properties.
