Principal Investigator: William Gramlich (Chemistry, UMaine) Partners: Basile Tarchini (The Jackson Laboratory) Abstract: Biomedical researchers studying cochlear development desire 3D cell and organ culture materials that mimic the spatiotemporal nature of the native extracellular matrix (ECM). In the proposed work, norbornene functionalized carboxymethyl cellulose (NorCMC) hydrogels will be investigated to retain the structure and viability
