Goals

  • To build and integrate advanced imaging and reporter technologies for monitoring cell function in 3D tissues. 
  • To identify molecular mechanisms of cell and tissue organization under homeostatic and pathological conditions, using state-of-the-art 3D model systems.  
  • To interrogate these models by testing clinically relevant mechanisms and targets, using molecular and genetic interference technologies across disease types in vitro and in vivo.
