The Multicellular Systems Engineering Lab is inspiring new ways to treat a broad range of human diseases, such as cancer, to accelerate wound healing and regeneration, and reverse neurodegeneration and aging. We also focus on fundamental, systems-level questions such as the biological regulation of tissue growth, morphogenesis, and regeneration.
As systems bioengineers, we utilize a diverse set of tools to characterize biological systems including computational models, microfluidics, microscopy, image processing and data analysis, and genetics. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to reverse engineer multicellular systems.
With a mechanistic knowledge of cell-cell communication, we also are developing approaches to forward engineer the control of cell signaling other cellular processes. We are a highly inter-disciplinary and diverse team with a strong network of collaborators across multiple departments and institutions.
We are actively recruiting graduate students and post-docs.
