Functionalization of electrospun biomaterial with Chitooligosaccharide (ChOS) and immunomodulation peptides for wound healing applications
- Supervisor: Amin Shavandi
- Research center: BioMatter- Biomass Transformation Lab (BTL)
- Research start date: 12.10.2020
Description
The aim of this project is first to consider the immunomodulatory activity of bioactive peptides derived from yeast protein hydrolysate and those designed according to amino acid replacement strategy. The peptides with the most activity will be selected for grafting into structure of biodegradable polymers and the final produced peptide-biomaterial conjuagates would be analyzed for wound healing applications.
Biography
My name is Mahta Mirzaei. I have a proven track record of success in teaching and research in food science and fermentation technology. I am a passionate food researcher and my primary research interest is bioactive peptides. I have extensive research experience studying bioactivity of peptides using in vitro, in silico and in cell culture assays. I am very much interested to work on functional foods and specifically I am curious about the therapeutic potential of food-derived bioactive peptides and the molecular mechanisms by which they impart their activity.
Now, as a Marie Skledowska-curie postdoc fellow, I am working on considering different peptide sequences fot their effect on macrophages and human skin. The identified peptides will be utilized for functionalization of biomaterials for wound healing applications.
