Biography
Cato T. Laurencin, MD, PhD, earned his BSE in chemical engineering from Princeton University, his PhD in biochemical engineering/biotechnology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his MD magna cum laude from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Laurencin is currently the chief executive officer of the Connecticut Institute for Clinical and Translational Science and director of the Institute for Regenerative Engineering at the University of Connecticut. He previously served as the vice president for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine. He is a university professor and holds the Van Dusen Endowed Chair in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Yusuf Khan
, PhD, earned his master’s degree and PhD from Drexel University in biomedical engineering. He is currently an assistant professor at the Institute for Regenerative Engineering and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Connecticut Health Center. He has an appointment in the Department of Chemical, Materials, and Biomolecular Engineering and is part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering within the School of Engineering at the University of Connecticut. His research interests include musculoskeletal tissue regeneration using implantable biodegradable scaffolds, development of composite structures for bone regeneration, and the development of clinically relevant healing modalities using ultrasound."This is a good book to have on your bookcase so that it can be easily handed to a student or young investigator. I foresee this book as a stepping off point to stimulate interest in a field that is rapidly evolving and is likely to have a significant impact on our ability to treat disease, disfigurement and trauma in the future."
—Biomaterials Forum, Fourth Quarter 2013"This book gives historical precedence for tissue engineering while providing the most up-to-date clinical examples. It is nice to see tissue engineering strategies that are tissue-specific, as the design requirements of clinical solutions will depend largely on the tissue of interest. This book is ideal for introductory coursework or reference for the initiate in the field of tissue engineering. … The authors are leaders in their respective fields and have knowledge of both the breadth and depth of tissue engineering strategies. The text is well-organized and will fit well into most introductory biomaterials/tissue engineering courses around the country."
—Laura Suggs, University of Texas at Austin, USA"The text is well written and succinct. The references are up to date. Given the background of the senior editor as an orthopaedic surgeon, clinical details are provided in most of the chapters in a highly readable manner, and this can be useful for the non-clinician user."
—The Journal of Histotechnology, March 2014
