Collaborative Projects
The Center has developed an initial set of Collaborative Projects between the Center faculty and external investigators. Each Collaborative Project critically depends on the use of the Center’s unique technologies and expertise. In some cases, the projects will support the technology development through its independent use in research, while in other cases the collaboration will be extending the application of the technology into an entirely new area, in a way that involves scientific and technical challenges. If you are interested in exploring a project with our group please contact us for more details.
Our Collaborators
Bill Chiu
Stanford University
Dr. Chiu's laboratory aims to understand the mechanisms of pediatric solid tumors, precisely target the specific causes, and devise unique medical or surgical treatments for every child.
Honorine Ward
Tufts University School of Medicine
Dr Ward's lab is focused on the apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium which causes diarrheal disease in humans worldwide.
Jinho Kim
Stevens Institute of Technology
The goal of Dr. Kim's Lab is to develop innovative bioengineering technologies that can provide practical solutions to some of unmet clinical needs, with an initial emphasis on repairing damaged donor lungs.
Michael Walen
Massachusetts General Hospital
Dr. Whalen's laboratory investigates causes and treatments for acute brain injury in children with mouse models and molecular and cell biology.
Shulamit Levenberg
Technion University
Dr. Levenberg's lab combines knowledge from cellular biology, tissue engineering, and mechanical engineering to investigate and understand the formation of vascular networks in three dimensional constructs.
Tal Dvir
Tel Aviv University
Dr. Dvir's lab investigates approaches to control stem cells differentiation and assembly of functioning tissues, including the heart, brain, spinal cord, eyes, intestine and more
Denis Wirtz
Johns Hopkins University
The Wirtz lab conducts groundbreaking research in the areas of cell motility, tumorigenesis and cancer metastasis, extracellular vesicles, digital pathology, machine learning applications to biological images, and immunology.
Jamie Spangler
Johns Hopkins University
Dr. Spangler's lab combines cutting-edge technologies from structural biophysics, molecular engineering, and translational immunology to create new platforms for the development of targeted therapeutics to treat a broad range of immune diseases.
Kara Spiller
Drexel University
The goal of Dr. Spiller's lab is to understand mechanisms by which the inflammatory response orchestrates successful tissue regeneration and to develop novel biomaterial strategies that apply these principles to situations in which regeneration is impaired.
Sharon Gerecht
Johns Hopkins University
The research in Dr Gerecht's laboratory focuses on employing engineering fundamentals to study basic questions in vascular stem cell biology and applying these for tissue repair and regeneration and cancer impeding.
Steven Marx
