Congratulations to professor and Integra LifeSciences professor Cherie Stabler, Ph.D., on being appointed Associate Editor of the Journal of Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine (JTERM). The multidisciplinary Journal published by Wiley focuses on the development of novel tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches to restore, maintain, or improve tissue or organ function.

Stabler will work with JTERM editor-in-chief, Catherine Kuo, Ph.D. from UMaryland, and fellow associate editor, Chelsea Bahney, Ph.D. from UCSF, as well as the members of the editorial board, to continue to grow the journal into a flagship journal for research in the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine space.

Stabler’s research centers on engineering translational biomaterial platforms for cell-based therapies, particularly Type 1 diabetes. Specifically, her research seeks to develop bioactive materials capable of protecting cells from immunological attack, providing 3-D support of the transplanted cells, presenting cues for guiding positive host cell remodeling, and releasing therapeutic agents.
