Research

Laboratories built around engineered physiology.

Four themes: instrumented cells, tissue systems, computational modeling and analysis, and Art & science. Each theme groups the lab's platforms, papers, tools, and visual work by how they contribute to synthetic physiology.

Monochrome fluorescence microscopy of a dense engineered cell colony
Stem cells and reporters

Instrumented cells

Genome-edited human iPSC systems with fluorescent reporters, live-cell phenotyping, and 2D/3D differentiation methods for watching cell state, lineage, and function emerge over time.

Biofab and biomaterials

Tissue systems

Soft hydrogels, engineered matrices, confinement systems, and optical or robotic fabrication methods for building tissue environments whose mechanics, geometry, and molecular cues can be controlled.

Modeling and bioimage analysis

CompBio

Discrete particle models, continuum and isogeometric analysis, and bioimage-analysis pipelines that connect microscopy, mechanics, and experimentally derived parameters.

Art/Science

Art & science

A home for the visual, material, and imaginative side of scientific work, treated as part of method rather than decoration.
