We seek to assemble a dynamic team driven by passionate researchers who are interested in working at the intersection of engineering and biological sciences. Our research is motivated by high quality basic science accompanied by a strong focus on translational landscapes for social impact. Trainees are the central focus of our lab and we aim to equip them with the skillsets they need to build a successful career in science and engineering.

We constantly strive to create an environment that facilitates collective growth through respect, trust, teamwork, and collaboration. We believe that “science is for everyone” and are dedicated to promote this belief through cultivating a culture of awareness, dialogue, diversity, and equity in our group and beyond.
