What I do: 

(Co-advised with Dr. Colin Hisey) My research focuses on the advancement and translation of extracellular vesicle (EV)-based regenerative medicines. I am developing workflows for the scalable production of mesenchymal stem cell EVs and leveraging both high-throughput testing on tissue/organ chips and in vivo models to evaluate their therapeutic efficacy.

Interests:

My research interests include microphysiological systems and determinants of EV biogenesis and biodistribution. Outside the lab, I love reading, running in the cold, and doing puzzles/mind games/escape rooms!
