Tissue Engineering
"Next-Generation Drug Screening Platform"
The creation of artificial organ tissues with human-like cellular functionality has been hampered by the complex, three-dimensional architecture of the human liver. We pursue a combination of microfabrication and nanotechnology approaches to overcome this challenge using mainly polymer hydrogel scaffolds. We also explore the potential of other bioinspired materials as alternative scaffold options.
