Our lab seeks to model, understand, and treat neurodegenerative disease, with a particular focus on neurovascular function and crosstalk. We operate at the intersection of engineering and regenerative medicine, and our projects span a wide variety of disciplines. We employ a number of techniques to carry out our work, including human induced pluripotent stem cell differentiation, genetic engineering, biomaterial and microdevice fabrication, high throughput screening, and molecular selection.
