Areas of expertise: 

Our lab focuses on听how the听extracellular environment听directs听stem cell听behavior听for endogenous and exogenous lung tissue regeneration. We use a multidisciplinary approach using advances in materials science (polymer design听and synthesis), manufacturing (e.g.听3D bioprinting), and听endogenous and iPSC-derived lung stem cells听to construct these new models.听

The main areas of interest of the lab are:听

  • Design and use of biologic (acellular) and synthetic scaffolds in diverse manufacturing approaches to bioengineer new lung tissue for transplantation.听

  • Understand the role of the extracellular matrix in directing lung stem cell behaviour in vivo and ex vivo during regeneration (normal and pathologic)听听

  • Build听and validate听new models of human lung tissue听and chronic lung disease听to reduce animal usage and for use as drug discovery and therapeutic screening platforms
