Form & Force-Driven Tissue Engineering (F2T)
Form (Geometry)
We bioengineer skin and vasculature in anatomically realistic geometries to uncover how form itself directs tissue organization and fate.
Force (Actuation)
We integrate bioengineered skin and vasculature with robotic systems to reproduce the mechanical forces of the musculoskeletal system that drive skin maturation.
Skin-on-a-chip (Disease Modeling)
We create complex human skin and vascular models by integrating microvasculature, innervation, and skin appendages to mimic healthy and diseased human skin.
Translation (Grafts)
We translate bioengineered skin and vasculature technologies toward clinical applications, including treatments for burn injuries and epidermolysis bullosa, with a focus on scalability and patient impact.
