Welcome to the
Cell and Microenvironment Engineering Lab
In the Fischell Department of Bioengineering
University of Maryland, College Park

We are a group of engineers/scientists focused on understanding the interplay between mechanical and biochemical cues from the cellular microenvironment on cellular behavior during normal homeostasis, progression of diseases, and therapeutic treatments. We engineer cells and their microenvironment in order to create model systems that allow us to systematically understand fundamental aspects of cellular and tissue mechanobiology, with the goal of directing therapeutic strategies for diseases.
