Human development – the process by which a fertilized egg transforms into a human being – involves the complex assembly of billions of cells. Despite nature’s power during development, the adult body can't always perfectly repair itself after it is diseased or injured.
Our lab is developing tools to understand and control how nature builds tissues. We seek to build artificial human tissues, and to remotely control these tissues after they have been implanted in a patient. We are working to translate our findings into new therapies for patients with heart and liver disease.
