—--------------------------
The BIO5 Institute’s Amy Barber talks with member and one of the University’s experts in biomedical engineering, Dr. Shang Song. Dr. Song’s lab focuses on integrating advanced engineering design methods and cell therapies to create new microphysiological platforms and regenerative therapies. The lab is fundamentally interested in designing new “experiences” for cells to change their behavior, and use this knowledge to develop better therapeutics and treatment methods for future patient treatment.
