A team of researchers led by Dr. Vahid Serpooshan, an assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering and Pediatrics at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University School of Medicine, have used BioAssemblyBot to create a patch with a regenerative protein to treat the infarcted myocardium (cardiac muscle, a part of the heart that gets damaged during a heart attack).
