About this research area
We seek to apply interdisciplinary engineering principles and basic science to understand, control and restore the function of living cells, tissues and organs. It integrates cells, biomaterials and new approach methods to create biological substitutes and models of normal or diseased tissues and organs to ultimately derive new medical treatments and drugs.
- Microphysiological systems
