Kilian Lab, November 2012


Welcome

Welcome to the Kilian lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We are an interdisciplinary research group that engineers biomaterial interfaces at the molecular, nanometer and micrometer scale to mimic the structure and properties of the extracellular environment for exploring and directing cell fate and function.
