Job description

General Summary of Position:

Our work integrates: Natural polymer design, Biofabrication technologies, and Structure–function relationships in biomaterials. We develop three-dimensional tissue models that incorporate physiological architecture, mechanical cues, and native microstructure to recreate healthy and diseased tissue states.
