Research in Engineered Tissue Model System focuses on cell and engineered tissue mechanics with application in cardiovascular regenerative medicine. The goal is to integrate the various areas of differential mechano-regulation of stem cells towards the cardiovascular phenotype as well as the synthesis of viable engineered cardiovascular tissues, particularly, heart valves.  This goal fragments into multiple areas of study:
<ul>
 	<li>Tissue engineered heart valve replacement for critical congenital mitral and aortic valve disease,</li>
 	<li>Leaflet repair using engineered heart valve tissues and</li>
 	<li>Bioreactor development to create engineered cardiovascular tissue model systems to facilitate therapeutic discovery.</li>
</ul>
