Research Interests
The Shiwarski Tissue Engineering Laboratory is interested in how human disease alters the structure and function of the vascular system across a range of organs and tissue types. By integrating advanced 3D bioprinting, cell biology, regenerative medicine, and microfluidics we develop novel experimental platforms to investigate relationships between engineered 3D tissue structure, extracellular matrix composition, biomechanical forces, and altered receptor signaling that drives tissue maturation and disease pathology.
