Using clay as a delivery vehicle in regenerative medicine (with Prof Jon Dawson)

Could nanoclay gels be the future for delivering growth factors in spinal fusion surgery?

This week we chat to Jon Dawson, Prof Fellow of Regenerative Medicine at the University of Southampton, about his work on developing clay nanoparticles. Alongside explaining why clay holds so much potential in the field of tissue regeneration, Jon discusses his background, the challenges of being involved in a spinout to bring this technology to patients, and the best way to communicate scientific ideas to different audiences. Hope you enjoy!
