Cutting Edge Research
Our lab’s research focus on 3D bioprinting, Stem Cells and Vascular Bioengineering
Blood vessels play an increasingly important role in most human tissue and organ systems. Importantly, vascular niche was found to be a key element of many stem cell environments such as neural stem cells. Vascular cells not only form conduits to deliver nutrient and oxygen, but also provide instructive signals to control stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, therefore, is critical for tissue regeneration. The mission of Vascular Bioengineering Laboratory is integrate bioengineering approaches with stem cells and vascular biology to understand blood vessel regeneration and vascular disease processes, and to develop novel therapeutic modalities to treat vascular-related disorders such as cardiovascular, neurovascular and cancer.

What we do is important
Blood vessles are important for tissue/organ function and regeneration; and involved in many diseases such as cardiovascular diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer angiogenesis and metastasis. Bioengineered vasculature will have broader impact for tissue/organ regeneration, model vascular developmental defects, studying cancer and stem cells and testing therapeutic effect of drugs.
