Alyssa Panitch dating history

Details

Alyssa Panitch is an American biomedical engineer. She is a Professor and department chair in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. Panitch focuses on designing biopolymers that improve tissue healing and regeneration by researching intracellular and extracellular approaches to direct molecular and cellular processes. Her research is on the extracellular matrix and how matrix signals affect regeneration, including nerve regeneration, wound healing and angiogenesis, cartilage and vascular. Recently, Panitch is exploring the proteoglycan component of the ECM, which is a critical component of tissue function. The Panitch laboratory has proven that proteoglycan function can be repeated by conjugating short, bioactive peptide sequences to GAGs. These sequences direct the GAG to its target to ensure it is held in place. By mimicking the function of proteoglycan, Panitch's laboratory was able to develop therapeutics used to treat osteoarthritis, improve wound healing, and treat diseased blood vessels.
