Episode 78: Avenesh Thakor, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiology at Stanford University (Re-Release)
In this episode re-release, Avnesh Thakor joins us to discuss bioscaffolds that are used to support pancreatic islet transplantation. Dr. Thakor's research interests are focused primarily on the pancreas, with respect to regenerative medicine and oncology. In Thakor's lab, they are creating biocompatible 3D structures which contain spaces to accommodate islets. These bioscaffolds will aim to facilitate oxygen generation and angiogenesis, both of which are essential for islet survival and function.
