TwitterOn Friday, July 17th @ 12:00PM EDT, we welcome University Professor Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic from Columbia University's Department of Biomedical Engineering as she presents, “Engineering human tissues for medical impact.”
ABOUT THE JULY 17 WEBINAR
Tissue engineering is increasingly successful in recapitulating the patient-specific milieu of tissue development, regeneration and disease. Living human tissues are now being engineered from adult human stem cells, and tailored to the patient and the condition being treated. The same principles are being applied to whole organ engineering (bone, lung, heart) and microfluidic “organs on a chip” platforms for modeling integrated human physiology in health and disease. This talk will discuss some recent advances in engineering human tissue for basic research and clinical translation.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, PhD
Columbia University
Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic is University Professor, the highest academic rank, as the first engineer in the history of Columbia to receive this distinction. She is also the Mikati Foundation Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Sciences, and a faculty in the College of Dental Medicine. The focus of her research is on engineering functional human tissues for regenerative medicine and study of development and disease. She was elected to the Academia Europaea, Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Inventors, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
