Previous projects have spanned applications of soft, biocompatible hydrogels, degradable lactide/glycolide polymeric scaffolds, and self-assembling peptide nanostructures for regenerative medicine. The laboratory's recent projects involve tissue engineering of the salivary gland as a post-radiotherapy treatment for xerostomia, and "tumor engineering" to study mechanisms of oral cancer and prostate cancer in unique 3D models, adapted to high-throughput screening. By customizing matrices and manufacturing techniques, we design biomimetic solutions that address needs at the cell, tissue, and organ level.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia GCC Cluster NanoX  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Diagnostic and Biomedical Sciences UT Health Science Center Houston
