Our research focuses on investigating how the engineered microenvironments direct cell function and tissue regeneration. Several specific thrusts of the current research program include: BioMEMS for stem/progenitor cell niche engineering, microscale cardiovascular tissue engineering, microengineered platforms for cell-matrix mechanobiology, and mechanoregulation in tissue morphogenesis and collective cell migration. <br>

Overview

Our research spans the disciplinary boundaries between nanotechnology, biomaterials, and cell mechanobiology with an emphasis on their applications to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Through the use of multiscale (nano/micro/meso) fabrication and integration tools, we focus on the development and applications of bio-inspired materials/devices/systems and functional tissue engineering models for elucidating cell biology, drug screening, disease modeling, and stem cell-based therapies. Using engineered microenvironments in combination with quantitative live cell imaging approaches, we are also studying the interplay between mechanical and biochemical signaling in the regulation of cell/tissue function and fate decisions that are essential for tissue repair and regeneration following injury, and various developmental events. The ultimate goal of our research is to better understand complex cellular behavior in response to microenvironmental cues in normal, aging and disease states, to gain new mechanistic insights into the control of cell-tissue structure and function, and to develop multiscale regenerative technologies for improving human health.
