	Laura K. Povlich email: lpovlich@umich.edu room: B104 Gerstacker B.S.E. Materials Science and Engineering, University of Michigan My research focuses on designing and synthesizing new conjugated polymers for neural probe coatings and other electrically conducting bio-devices. The goal is to improve bio-integration between tissue and electrode surfaces and also to reduce the immune response upon implantation. Both bio-functionalized PEDOT and biologically dervived polymers (melanins) are currently being...more>>
