In the Lab The Zhao group is focused on innovating novel approaches to improve magnetic resonance (MR) imaging physics at cellular level for early detection and therapeutic treatment of cancers, for tracking of stem cells, and for other biophysical and biomedical applications. MRI-based cell tracking using super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles provide an excellent means…

In the Lab The Mortensen Lab is interested in using engineering approaches to solve important biological problems where canonical techniques and methods of thinking have failed. This requires a multidisciplinary mindset to draw together microscopy, engineering, systems level biology, and regenerative medicine. Specifically, our research uses multiphoton microscopy to enable the design of next generation…

In the Lab Tissue engineering research aims to develop biological substitutes for damaged or diseased tissues, most often using a combination of autologous cells obtained from healthy patient tissue and biomaterial scaffolds that support cell growth and subsequent tissue formation. A large proportion of tissue engineering research is focused on bone tissue engineering to yield…
