We are a multidisciplinary team of scientists & engineers interested in how our cells interact with each other and with their physical microenvironment, particularly in the context of fibrosis—‘scarring’ of tissue that contributes to a vast range of human diseases.
Systems mechanobiology & regenerative engineering
We take a systems approach to investigate mechanisms that drive fibrotic remodeling and tissue regeneration by integrating (i) cell & molecular biology, (ii) organoid and biomaterials engineering, and (iii) data science.
Our mission
Our long-term goal is to develop new precision therapies for treating fibrosis-associated diseases, which span cardiovascular disease, cancer, and aging.
