Faculty Profile

Sabrina Jedlicka
Assistant Professor
Materials Science and Engineering

Dr. Jedlicka focuses on fundamental interactions between mammalian cells and cell culture substrates. Specifically, she is interested in developing reproducible, stable biointerfaces that communicate with cells and ultimately modulate cell fate and function. Research in her lab is centered on the novel development of new implantable biomaterials, as well as a variety of characterization methods, including the adaptation of nontraditional methods to biological problems. more >
