| Abstract Scope |
Traditional medical interventions must be reimagined to expand accessibility and convenience, particularly in low-resource settings. Our group develops in situ-forming medical devices, which are administered in a flowable state and transform into functional therapeutic structures inside the body. These devices are designed to be compatible with minimally invasive delivery methods, such as needle injection, without the need for complex procedures. This talk will highlight our strategies for in situ device formation, focusing on recent work creating long-acting therapeutic implants. |
