Endothelial Cells:
Regeneration, Nutrient Absorption, Tissue Engineering and Beyond
Tissue stem cells hold the great promise of inducing regeneration on demand. Work in our laboratory is focused on the emerging concept that endothelial cells serve as a supportive niche for regeneration. We study the role of blood and lymphatic endothelial cells in the intestine and colon in regenerative processes and gastrointestinal diseases. In parallel, we also work on developing complex human vascularized tissue and organoids to generate novel platforms for precision medicine and offer an avenue for tissue transplantation.
Research Themes
Come unravel with us the role of endothelial cells in tissue regeneration and nutrient absorption, while engineering vascularized and physiologically relevant organoids.
