Engineering Biomimetic Materials for Female Reproductive and Gynecologic Health Samantha Zambuto, PhDT32 Postdoctoral FellowWashington University School of MedicineWashington University in St. Louis Abstract:Female reproductive and gynecologic health are historically understudied fields that would significantly benefit from engineering expertise due to the unique biomechanical environment in the female reproductive tract and the dynamic tissue changes orchestrated...

Controlling multi-scale patterning for synthetic developmental biology Louis S. Prahl, PhDPostdoctoral FellowDepartment of BioengineeringUniversity of Pennsylvania Abstract:Embryonic tissue-building processes must hierarchically pattern cells into life-sustaining structures while avoiding organizational defects that compromise organ function. Building mature and hierarchically complex synthetic organs in vitro from patient-derived cells would have a wide range of healthcare applications from...
