Xconomy: Kyoto Prize Winner Robert Langer on Innovations to Come
Summary
Kyoto Prize Winner Robert Langer on Innovations to Come in Drug Delivery and Bioengineering (Page 3 of 3) be a very big area.What we just talked about with Viacyte is a great example of tissue engineering, because that involves cell therapies, with better materials; better design of systems that will enable diabetes treatment is certainly one area.They range from better cell-therapy kinds of approaches to basic research in learning how to control stem cell growth and differentiation.For example, we have a big project with Steve Zeitels [of Massachusetts General Hospital] who is the surgeon for Julie Andrews and other singers.There are many exciting areas going on with respect to individual therapies, and then there is this broader work that affects all of them.
