Adam Feinberg PhD
Professor

We develop materials-based, engineering strategies to control the self-organization and assembly of various cell types into tissues using nanoscale fabrication and 3D bioprinting. Understanding of higher-order function in biological systems.

MeganFreeman
Professor

The Freeman lab studies viruses with tropism for the central nervous system using primarily human tissue models (organoids) of relevant sites derived from induced, pluripotent stem cells. Our current focus is on how enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) mediates acute flaccid myelitis, a polio-like paralysis syndrome, in children by using a human spinal cord organoid model.
