Lawrence S. Gazda's work focuses on encapsulating cells in agarose 'macrobead' materials for two main applications: growing pancreatic islet cells (which produce insulin) for potential diabetes treatment, and culturing cancer cells to study tumor biology and test cancer therapies. His recent research examines how three-dimensional macrobead culture systems affect cancer stem cell properties and how encapsulated pig islet cells might be used as transplants for diabetes without requiring full immune suppression.
