Research Interests
Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering is a diverse field that aims to regenerate or create new tissue using cells, biomaterials, and growth factors. Our lab aims to create new methods for repairing nerve injuries by combining patterned biomaterials with cell-derived signals to promote neurite extension and Schwann cell migration across wound sites.

Cell-Extracellular Matrix Interactions
The extracellular matrix provides both physical and chemical signaling and support to all cells in the body. Our lab is interested in the interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. This includes research investigating the cellular response to combinatory physical and chemical signaling from the extracellular matrix.

Biomaterials
Biomaterials are a broad area of research with applications ranging from engineering biomaterials to control cellular behavior, studying cell-biomaterial interactions, and developing materials for potential use in clinical applications. Our research focus includes synthesis of biomaterials, engineering biomaterials to control cell function, and tailoring the physical and chemical properties of biomaterials to elicit desired cellular outcomes.
