pursuing a Ph.D., Materials Science and Engineering, University of Wisconsin–Madison
Research Description
Working in a neural engineering lab, my goal is to understand, model, and recapitulate in vitro the instructive signals utilized by human embryos to pattern tissue-specific differentiation of pluripotent stem cells, and apply this knowledge towards the rational design of tissue engineered scaffolds and other regenerative therapeutic strategies of neural engineering applications.
