BioHeat and Mass Transfer Lab
BioHeat and Mass Transfer Lab
The BioHeat and Mass Transfer Lab (BHMT) is dedicated to exploring the principles of heat and mass transfer in biological systems. As part of the NSF-funded ATP-Bio initiative, we focus on advancing biopreservation techniques, including cryopreservation and warming of cells, tissues, and organs. With an interdisciplinary approach that integrates engineering, biology, and medicine, the BHMT lab drives innovation to address challenges in healthcare, organ transplantation, and regenerative medicine.
