About Vascular Tissue Engineering
Our work focuses on elucidating how cells interact with their microenvironment, including topography and scaffold composition, and using this knowledge to develop strategies to produce tissue engineered grafts. Lab members come from a range of engineering and biology backgrounds. All of these perspectives allow us to work on different stages necessary to develop clinical therapies: including (a) developing novel biomaterials, (b) exploring cell - microenvironment interactions, and (c) determining the viability of constructs in vivo. We primarily focus on vascular tissue engineering and tissue vascularization.
