Reply to comment by Annual-Mud-987 in Hello Reddit, I’m Nazia Mehrban, a Lecturer in Biotechnology at University of Bath. I design and build materials that are implanted into patients to repair or replace damaged tissues. by UniversityofBath

Hi! Absolutely! Our vision is to one day be able to grow new tissues and maybe even organs one day for patients, using these materials and the patient's own cells. That would certainly reduce organ transplant lists....

within the next ten years, what is the anticipated wait time to grow a particular vascular tissue using the specific materials your lab makes, from patient consent to implantation?

do you see any cooperative possibilities with research groups that focus on nerve, limb and tissue regeneration?
