SUMMARY:Designing Hydrogel Biomaterials for Therapeutic Revascularization
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nAbstract :\n\nHeart failure remains one of the lead
 ing causes of death worldwide\,\ndriven by persistent coronary artery occl
 usion that reduces blood\nsupply to the myocardium\, leading to cardiomyoc
 yte death and fibrotic\nremodeling. Effective revascularization of the inj
 ured myocardium is\nessential to restore tissue viability and preserve car
 diac function.\nIn this talk\, I will present our strategies for engineeri
 ng hydrogel\nplatforms to actively promote revascularization. We developed
  a\ncomputationally designed affinity-based delivery system to precisely\n
 regulate the presentation of proangiogenic growth factors\, and\noptimized
  matrix properties to support the transplantation and\nfunctional integrat
 ion of CD34⁺ vascular progenitor cells. Together\,\nthese approaches aim
  to create a regenerative microenvironment capable\nof driving robust and 
 functional vascularization.\n\nBiography:\n\nDr. Yuan Yao is an Assistant 
 Professor in the Department of Mechanical\nEngineering and Division of Car
 diology at University of British\nColumbia. She graduated from University 
 of ��ݮ��Ƶ\, supervised by Dr.\nEvelyn Yim\, and completed her postdoctor
 al training with Dr. Molly\nShoichet in the Department of Chemical Enginee
 ring at University of\nToronto. Her lab is located at the Center for Heart
  Lung Innovation at\nthe St Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.\n\nHer researc
 h focuses on engineered biomaterials and biofabrication\napproaches for ca
 rdiovascular repair and regeneration.\n
