science with purpose
for social impact
Vahabikashi Lab
We conduct research at the intersection of multiscale mechanobiology and soft bioelectronics. We combine multiple science and engineering disciplines to 1) investigate the mechanobiology of human diseases, 2) build and integrate advanced bioelectronic interfaces with 3D multicellular biological systems for disease modeling, and 3) develop new therapeutics, devices, and regenerative approaches for the diseases we study. We conduct interdisciplinary research with a strong focus on translational landscapes to pursue our value of doing “science with purpose for social impact”. Our goal for every project is creating the potential to solve a challenging health issue to make life easier and more enjoyable for humankind.
