Shulamit Levenberg, PhD, Professor

Our lab combines knowledge from cellular biology, tissue engineering, and mechanical engineering to investigate and understand the formation of vascular networks in three dimensional constructs. Our team members come from a variety of disciplines while our projects center around the development of pre-vascularized constructs for the future of cell therapy. In addition, we are also developing microfluidic technologies for single cell analysis applications.

The Levenberg Lab specializes in the field of stem cell-based tissue engineering. Our focus is on recreating complex tissues in vitro for purposes such as regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and drug discovery. We have expertise in engineering 3D vascularized composite tissues using cutting-edge 3D bioprinting and scaffold-based approaches. By utilizing defined biomaterials and mimicking in vivo settings with mechanical signals, we investigate the mechanisms behind in vitro vascularization.
