## Description

- description: Two prominent researchers of WPI-MANA and University of Washington
    discuss the development of smart polymers and biomaterials Prof. Allan S. Hoffman
    from the University of Washington, a pioneer in smart polymers and biomaterials
    research, visited MANA for the International Symposium on Smart Biomaterials held
    in Tsukuba on Sept. 9. He and a former student, MANA’s Dr. Mitsuhiro Ebara, sat
    down with the MANA e-Bulletin to discuss their work. Dr. Hoffman pioneered the
    applications of temperature and pH-responsive smart polymers and hydrogels in
    drug delivery, diagnostic assays and biologically active and non-fouling polymer
    surfaces. He is highly respected in the field of biomaterials, and has received
    numerous awards, as well as over a hundred patents. Dr. Ebara’s research is in
    smart polymers, which are finding applications in a variety of fields, including
    regenerative medicine, drug delivery and rapid diagnostics, and are expected to
    transform medicine in the near future.
