Engineering organoids to tackle human disease
Our laboratory exploits the inherent capacity of self organization from human pluripotent stem cells to understand how kidney and heart tissues develop and get disease. Making use of bioengineering we generate organ-like cultures to explore on the interplay between biophysical cues and metabolism in these processes.
