Abstract
For decades, graduates from the University of Richmond have crafted a robust web of alumni spanning various regions and professions. Much like its graduates, Richmond’s famed spider mascot has been capitalizing on the strength of its own web and engineering solutions to the most pressing problems in a new and rather unexpected territory–medicine.
Spider silk has unique chemical and physical properties that allow it to be used in many different capacities.
