Stem Cell Engineering

Stem cells offer tremendous promise for the development of regenerative therapies and establishment of fundamental models to study disease pathogenesis. However, much work remains to be done in the laboratory and the clinic to understand how to use these cells for cell-based therapies to treat disease in the context of regenerative medicine.

BioE researchers are integrating basic sciences and engineering fundamentals to address key hurdles and technological challenges currently impeding the development of stem cell therapeutics and diagnostics.
