Biomedical Engineering
Description of field of research:
We are investigating the use of pluripotent stem cells to make blood vessels and blood. Our research has shown that the aorta and blood stem cells require a system that mimics the circulation of a human embryo. This project looks at design of a scalable microfluidic platform for manufacturing blood vessels and blood stem cells.
