Research

Human Microphysiological Systems are used for disease modeling, drug development, and regenerative medicine. We will be working will the design, simulation, and fabrication of microfluidic tissue culture platforms. We will also be researching various methods to engineer human tissue in the form of spheroid, organoid, and organ-on-a-chip technology. We will also be researching on-chip biosensors.

Metastatic Brain Tumor Modeling from patient derived brain metastases

This project is funded by the BU Watson UHS Collaboration Seed Grant. We aim to develop metastatic brain tumor models from the patient derived tissues for drug testing and disease modeling.
