learn about our research
We draw inspiration and expertise from a wide variety of different fields. As bioengineers, we learn to communicate across disciplines work at the interface of engineering, mathematics, computer science, genomics, and cell and developmental biology.
From engineering and studying stem cell-derived tissues to modeling molecular signaling and improving in vitro blood development, we have developed the foundations required to build models of multicellular systems.
Our lab aims to model and control stem cell behaviors, including decisions related to cell type specification, communication between cells, and morphogenesis – or organization and patterning – of groups of cells in engineered tissues.
