VASCULAR BIOENGINEERING LABORATORY

The Prakash Lab’s main motto is to understand nature through blood vessels. Our lab works on regenerative medicine and tissue engineering with a focus on engineering blood vessels through all length scales, including micron-sized capillaries to millimeter-sized arteries and veins. To achieve this, we work with advanced biomaterial design and synthesis, apply engineering principles to create functional vasculature, and use new fabrication technologies for organ-specific vasculature models. The lab is applying these ideas to disease models such as bone cancer metastasis and chronic kidney disease.
