Our research is guided by the feedback loop between tissue mechanics and cellular processes. We use custom tools to quantify tissue mechanics and engineer microenvironments to mimic these target properties. This unique approach to tissue engineering allows us to build tissues-in-a-dish to understand fundamental biological mechanisms of regeneration, cancer, stem cell biology and more.
