Areas of Interest

Our research strives to decrease rates of pregnancy complications by using engineering and molecular biology tools to understand multiscale observations through biological mechanisms. Specifically, our work will explore the biomechanics of pregnancy and how these changing mechanical environments throughout gestation alter cellular responses and cell fate. As pregnancy involves significant uterine deformation and tissue remodeling, understanding how these mechanical cues influence cells could lead to strategies to prevent or predict high-risk pregnancies.
