The Mooney lab focuses on making therapies more effective and practical. Our research involves exploiting our understanding of cell and molecular biology to design biomaterials that effect and potentiate specific cell functions. The lab members consist of post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, research fellows, and visiting scholars from diverse academic backgrounds. For more information, please visit our publications page, and for any inquiries, please visit our contact page.
Congrats to Theresa and team on their recent publication which describes the effects of VEGF and IGF-1 on functional reinnervation and muscle regeneration in mice and rabbits. Check it out here: Combined delivery of VEGF and IGF-1 promotes functional innervation in mice and improves muscle transplantation in rabbits
