My Hedhammar
Associate Professor at Division of Protein Technology

Spider silk is composed of special proteins arranged in intricate structures that give unique material properties of combined strength and elasticity. We have discovered how to use recombinant DNA technology to produce synthetic variants of these proteins that can self-assemble into materials that mimic the properties of silk. By genetic engineering we are also able to incorporate foreign elements in a site-specific manner that add desired biochemical functions to the material. My Hedhammar will describe the methods used, and demonstrate some examples of how this can be used within the field of diagnostics as well as tissue engineering.
