We build stem cell-based model for understanding morphogenesis and signaling pathways in development. We also develop tools to quantify forces applied by cells.

Great honor to work with leaders of the field to explore the future of organoids biology and engineering!

[Journal of Molecular Biology @JMolBiol]

Curious about organoids and how these complex models are helping advance biomedical research? Take a look at our newest Special Issue "Organoids: Expanding Applications Enabled by Emerging Technologies" edited by @yubing_sun_lab @umassengin @UMassMIE and ChangHui Pak @UMassBMB.

Our new work in collaboration with @Garrodasuka shows that cell alignment is not just about forces, but also tissue-level mechanical property when cells are connected. Excellent experience with eLife! https://t.co/b7KREHV3NL @eLife

Our most recent work shows that cell migration can be directed by a strain gradient (tensotaxis), and it is different from durotaxis.
