Our laboratory focuses on developing new strategies using biomaterials and stem cells for tissue repair and regeneration. More specifically, we are interested in: (a) developing molecularly-engineered polymeric structures to control the fate and commitment of stem cells towards the desired tissue (b) dissecting the cell-environment (insoluble and soluble components) interactions to understand stem cell biology, disease progression, and developmental processes (c) translate these fundamental understandings towards clinical applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
