We engineer proteins and materials, guided by computation, to help damaged hearts and chronic wounds heal.

Some tissues, like the heart and the skin of people with diabetes, can't repair themselves well after damage. Our lab designs new proteins and materials that help the body rebuild these tissues.

We use computation and machine learning to guide this work. Computer models help us decide which designs to build and test, so each round of experiments teaches us more than the last. We also analyze large sets of patient and cell data to understand why healing differs from person to person.

Our goal is therapies that restore working tissue and that can be matched to the patient who needs them.
