Really enjoyed presenting my work on developing 3D printed MXene biomaterials at @bio. Combining 3D printing with conductive nanomaterials provides us with exciting tools for tuning electrical stimulation based therapies.

Also from RCSI TERG, RCSI we see how matrix proteins including laminin-1, fibronectin, and collagen-IV enhance neural cell growth & drive changes at both the whole-cell and nanoscale levels. These insights can help inform the design of biomaterial scaffolds! 🧠🔬
