Biofabrication and Microphysiological Engineering Project Details
Animal models fail to accurately mimic human biology and disease progression. We leverage our cell and biomaterials engineering to build reproducible microscale tissues and organoids using human cells, with formats amenable to plate- and chip-based assays to aid fundamental studies and drug development.
