Our research is focused on employing engineering fundamentals to study basic questions in stem cell biology and applying these for tissue repair and regeneration. Specifically, we study the interactions between stem cells (SCs) and their microenvironment with the long term goal to engineer artificial SC microenvironments capable of guiding vascular differentiation, delivery and regeneration.
