Merlion Grant : collaboration between peptide team and NTU in tissue engineering

Thanks to a Merlion grant, Gilles and Laurine spent 2 weeks in Singapore, in Pr. Sing Yian Chew’s lab at the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. This trip was an opportunity to implant sol-gel based hydrogel scaffolds (with a collagen-like peptide) into rats to assess their ability to repair spinal cord injury.
