Research Summary

Benjamin G. Keselowsky earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of South Florida in 1998 and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2004. The Biomaterial Immuno-Engineering Lab focuses on the engineering of biomimetic biomaterials for directed immune cell functionality. For example, current research projects include:

  • Development of receptor-targeting biomaterials for the guided activation of dendritic cells for immunotherapy applications
  • Investigation of the receptor-mediated mechanisms of macrophage phagocytosis of orthopedic implant wear debris for the mitigation of peri-implant osteolysis in joint replacement patients.
