In the Lab The Fattahi laboratory focuses on developing advanced human tissue models, including organ-on-a-chip systems and vascularized organoid arrays, to investigate how high-risk environmental exposures impact human health. By integrating bioengineering, stem cell biology, and multi-omics profiling, the team aims to recapitulate essential physiological functions in vitro to study tissue injury, repair, and disease…

In the Lab One of the major challenges in neurobiology is understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying development of the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). Research in our laboratory seeks to elucidate these mechanisms by studying development of the vertebrate forebrain and visual system. We study these systems by taking advantage of mutations that…
