CAREER: Leveraging Microphysiological Systems to Study Molecular Mechanisms of Pathologica — NSF Award to Tulane University (LA, $

Recent advances in tissue engineering have led to the emergence of microphysiological systems (MPS) -- bioengineered microtissues that capture the complexities of intact tissue while leveraging the strengths of simpler cell culture systems. MPS are a powerful advanced new technology for basic and translational science.

AbstractRecent advances in tissue engineering have led to the emergence of microphysiological systems (MPS) -- bioengineered microtissues that capture the complexities of intact tissue while leveraging the strengths of simpler cell culture systems. MPS are a powerful advanced new technology for basic and translational science. However, barriers to widespread MPS acceptance and adoption are still present. These include a need for more rigorous application of MPS to explore basic tissue biology, and a nee
