The Shiwarski Tissue Engineering Lab conducts research that integrates vascular hematology, developmental and mechanobiology, with cell biology, biomechanics, and tissue engineering. Using a combination of microfluidic systems, 3D bioprinting, biomechanical analyses, fluorescence microscopy, and next-Gen omics our goal is to determine how extra cellular matrix (ECM) composition and 3D structure elicit biomechanical cues that alter receptor signaling to drive tissue maturation and disease progression. Current projects have translational implications for the fields of cardiology, pulmonology, vascular medicine, hematology, cancer invasion, renal disease, and regenerative medicine.
