He develops synthetic and polymeric materials that mimic the chemistry of natural systems, such as mussel adhesion, for applications in surgery, wound healing, and drug delivery. Messersmith\u2019s work integrates chemistry, biology, and materials science to design multifunctional biomaterials that interface seamlessly with tissues. His research advances the understanding of biological interfacial phenomena and informs the development of new approaches to tissue repair and regeneration.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHe is Professor of Bioengineering and Materials Science at UC Berkeley and Faculty Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, the Materials Research Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In addition to his research, he mentors and teaches students in the fields of biomaterials design, materials science, polymer science, and nanomedicine.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EFaculty host: \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:felipe.quiroz@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EFelipe Quiroz\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPhillip Messersmith, University of California, Berkeley\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Phillip Messersmith, University of California, Berkeley"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2026-04-20 18:34:41","changed_gmt":"2026-04-20 18:42:32","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2027-01-21T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2027-01-21T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2027-01-21T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2027-01-21 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2027-01-21 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2027-01-21 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotechnology Building, 315 Ferst Drive NW, Suddath Seminar 1128, Atlanta, GA 30332","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
