Research

The over-arching goal of research in the Engelmayr Lab is to contribute toward the development of functional engineered tissues for basic science and regenerative medicine applications.

Aspects of our interdisciplinary work include:

tissue specific scaffold design and fabrication for promoting the development of biomimetic tissue properties,

bioreactor design and use in studying biophysical and biochemical control of engineered tissue formation and stem cell differentiation,

mathematical modeling to integrate the fruit of experimentation into a cohesive predictive framework.


Among other tissue applications, projects in our lab focus on tissue engineering in the heart, including vessels, valves, and myocardium.
