Prof. Jeffrey A. Hubbell

RESEARCH AREA

Research in Prof. Hubbell's laboratory is directed toward biomaterials issues in tissue engineering, cell-based therapies, drug delivery, and medical devices. It involves polymer chemistry and cell biology ultimately directed toward altering some medical outcome. Current research addresses means by which the recognition of biological and synthetic polymers may be controlled, for example means by which to use polymers to block recognition in wound healing and immunity, by which to incorporate protein-like structures into synthetic materials, and by which to endow synthetic materials with the ability to be degraded by the cellular processes involved in tissue remodeling. Current clinical targets are cardiovascular implants and healing, nerve regeneration, post-surgical healing, and general aspects of the controlled delivery of proteins and genes.

PRESENTATION

Jeffrey Hubbell was born in 1959 in Kansas City, Missouri, and is a citizen of the United States of America. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering at Kansas State University in 1982 and his doctorate in chemical engineering at Rice University in 1986. He was assistant and associate professor of chemical engineering at the University of Texas, Austin, from 1986 - 1994, and professor of chemical engineering at the California Institute of Technology from 1995 - 1997.

Jeffrey A. Hubbell has been full Professor of Biomedical Engineering and director of the Institute for Biomedical Engineering of the ETH and the University of Zurich, Professor of Materials Science since 1 June 1997 and an ETH professor of Material Science and an University professor at the Medical Faculty.
