Pancreatic Cellular and Biomaterials Engineering
Our lab’s mission is to employ an engineering approach to solve significant problems in health and biology.
Our primary focus is the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and their diseases with an emphasis on beta cell dysfunction and autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes.
We specialize in biomaterials technologies as the basis for regenerative strategies and to discover novel biological insights.
Understanding the underlying causes and triggers of T1D autoimmunity
How does the community of cells in the islet coordinate their behavior?
