Prof. Odabas visited Michael Ausserlechner, Associated Professor at the Department of Pediatrics, Head of the Molecular Biology Research Laboratory at Medical University of Innsbruck, Ausria for a collaboration project within the scope of the NETSKINMODELS COST Action.

Research Visit at TUM

tum

 

 

Prof. Odabas visited Prof. Lieleg group at Technical University of Munich (TUM), CPA   for a month, where he focused on studying mucin-coated decellularized plants as a novel cellulose-based wound dressing material. The research aims to enhance wound healing by leveraging the natural properties of mucins, which can promote hydration and create an optimal environment for tissue regeneration.
