Some examples of current reserach projects include:

1. Direct and characterize vascular differentiation and vascular subphenotypes including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes from mouse and human stem cell lines.

2. Explore development of smart controllable materials for delivery of endothelial cells to treat peripheral artery disease.

3. Examine the role of cell-to-cell and matrix signaling, including mechanical forces, in vascular assembly.

4. Develop a vascularized lung-on-a-chip.

5. Generate induced pluripotent stem cells from gum and cheek cells.
