My research occurs in educational spaces to understand and improve the learning experience for students. Specifically, I direct laboratory courses that highlight cell engineering, tissue engineering, and immunoengineering for all levels of trainees at our institute including pre-college, undergraduate and graduate students. These studies ensure our earliest researchers and engineers are able to show technical proficiency in advanced cutting-edge research techniques, ethical and appropriate analytical interpretation of biological datasets, and scientific literacy to assess and present research products.
