Research

Engineering human-relevant tissue systems through biofabrication and biomaterials

My research integrates cells, biomaterials, microengineering, and biomanufacturing to create functional tissue models and translational therapeutic technologies.

Advanced 3D bioprinting and biofabrication

Engineering cell-laden hydrogel systems and light-based printing strategies to fabricate tissues with defined architecture, composition, and function.

Organ-on-a-chip and microphysiological systems

Developing controllable tissue models for cancer, aging, drug screening, and multi-organ interactions using microengineered platforms.

Biomaterial-enabled therapeutic platforms

Designing hydrogels, microneedles, and delivery systems that improve retention, localization, and function of therapeutic payloads and cells.

Dynamic and intelligent tissue models

Exploring responsive, personalized, and data-integrated tissue systems to better capture biological complexity over time.
