Research Overview
The development of stable, functional tissue is a challenge in regenerative medicine. Research in the 3D Neovascular Technology group takes on a collaborative approach to develop an in-depth understanding of the effects of controlled physical forces and genetics on vascular network morphogenesis. To this end, we are developing novel tools for tomography, image analysis, computational modeling and optimization algorithms to provide insights into the formation of sustainable vascular networks.
