Prof. Kisuk Yang
RESEARCH INTERESTS (Job Posting)
Our laboratory focuses on the design and testing of bioengineered tissues, which are composed of mainly stem cell-derived cells (e.g., neural cells, pancreatic cells, and osteogenic cells) and tissue-specific extracellular matrix scaffolds. The overall goal is to develop new strategies to assemble and test bioengineered constructs capable of restoring tissue function
CURRENT PROJECTS
The major goals of our laboratory are i) to harness the power of stem cell niches (e.g., 3D microenvironment, ECM, cell-cell interaction, and cell signalling) to guide stem cell differentiation and/or tissue remodeling in vitro and in vivo, and ii) to understand and harness the interaction between inflammatory cells and bioengineered tissue constructs in order to improve survival and function
