Karp Lab 5th Anniversary Cruise 24 Aug 2012

THE LABORATORY FOR ADVANCED BIOMATERIALS AND STEM-CELL-BASED THERAPEUTICS

Thank you for visiting! I am dedicated to the development of next generation bioengineers to work at the forefront of regenerative medicine. I take the professional development of the personnel in my laboratory very seriously and do everything I can to ensure successful career paths. My laboratory aims to create advanced biomaterials and devices for therapeutics through a highly multidisciplinary approach.

Translating Research Into Improved Patient Care

Our lab firmly believes that innovation occurs at the interface of disciplines. Hence, we have a diverse, international talent pool, simultaneously working on 20 to 25 different projects. We are focused on the development of platform technology, in order to support a broad range of potential applications. Furthermore, our emphasis on translational research allows us to train the next generation of bioengineers in expanding the boundaries of this exciting field. In recognition of the laboratory’s achievements and contributions to the field, Prof Karp and the lab have been awarded multiple accolades.

Prof Karp Live on CCTV! [Panel on the Ethics of New Stem Cell Cloning Method]

Anchor Anand Naidoo joins Marcy Darnovsky of the Center for Genetics and Society, and Jeffrey Karp from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute to talk about the controversy surrounding a recent breakthrough in stem cell research involving the cloning of human stem cells.

BWH – Prickly Porcupine: Medicine’s Next Top Model?

PorcupineThe North American porcupine is easily recognizable due to its impressive coat of long, sharp quills. These unique projections are designed so that they can easily penetrate animal flesh, but are extremely difficult to remove. While this may be bad news for a predator or a curious pet, this natural mechanism is a boon for a curious medical researcher trying to develop a better medical device.
