معرفی
My Hedhammar is Professor in Biotechnology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology developing innovative methods for tissue engineering using recombinant spider silk. Her laboratory creates three-dimensional tissue models that mimic natural cellular environments.
Research focuses on spider silk-derived biomaterials that serve as scaffolds for cell cultivation, enabling the creation of complex tissue structures including vascularized models. Applications include cancer tumor modeling and diabetes treatment through pancreatic islet transplantation.
Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate advancements in silk functionalization, cryopreservation techniques, and disease-specific models. Work consistently bridges biomaterial science with clinical applications in regenerative medicine and drug development.
