The project entitled, "Multifunctional wound healing peptide hydrogels" is funded through the "GO-Bio-initial" grant sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The project deals with the prototyping and commercialization of bio-active peptide hydrogels for wound healing, tissue engineering, 3D cell culture, anti-microbial, and drug delivery based bio-medical applications through establishment of a university-based startup.
