The mission of our lab is to fill the gap between clinical practice and basic science through translational research. Our key research area is cardiovascular tissue engineering using 3D printing/ bioprinting technology. First, we aim to use innovative and novel tissue engineering approaches to regenerate the heart using 3D cardiac engineered tissues. The second focus of our ...
One of lab Alumni, Joseph Boktor got an acceptance to the MD/PhD program! His hard work opened a new door! Best wishes for your next step, Joe!
Chin Siang's book chapter is online now. He wrote many papers when he worked in the lab! Principles of Spheroid Preparation for Creation of 3D Cardiac Tissue Using Biomaterial-Free Bioprinting. Ong CS, Pitaktong I, Hibino N. Methods Mol Biol. 2020;2140:183-197. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0520-2_12.
Hiro's paper "Corrugated nanofiber tissue-engineered vascular graft to prevent kinking for arteriovenous shunts in an ovine model," has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Vascular Surgery Vascular Science!
Andrew matched into the general surgery resident program! Enoch matched into the transition to the categorical general surgery resident program! They both came from abroad with dreams to become a surgeon in the United States! The first step to that journey actually started in our lab! It was a blessing to see them grow and ...
We received Charles B. Huggins Research Award from Department of Surgery, University of Chicago!
Jason Yusheng He started to work at the lab from last week! He just graduated from the PhD program at Illinois Institute of Technology. His background in soft tissue material and tissue engineering is a strong asset for the lab!
Willa received the award for The Pritzker Summer Research Program. We look forward to her great work in the summer!
