The focus of Biomaterials and Regenerative Therapeutics Laboratory is to develop novel biomaterials and stem cell based therapeutics for tissue engineering, drug delivery and cell therapy. We work at the interface of engineering, life sciences and medicine and are focused in fundamental and applied studies.

Our interest is to develop therapeutics by combining molecular, cellular and tissue engineering approaches. We aim to mimic and engineer tissue microenvironment of physiological and pathological conditions by understanding the interactions and signaling events between cells and extracellular environment. The research environment in the group is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative where we thrive to answer critical questions with a balanced emphasis on both the engineering and medical aspects.
