Talk@BCRT | Kelly Stevens
The expert from the University of Washington will give a talk on: “Engineering Organoids, Organs, and Societies”. The lecture is hosted by Vallier lab.
Abstract
Join us for the lecture by Kelly Stevens who has done pioneering work on bioengineered liver and organoids for regenerative medicine application.
Zitat
"We are working to build artificial human tissues. To do this, we are developing better 'google maps' of human organs as well as new ways to assemble engineered organs from scratch. We are also developing the next generation of diverse scientists and engineers."
Kelly R. Stevens, Principal Investigator
About the speaker
About the Speaker
Kelly Stevens (Principal Investigator) is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Bioengineering and Pathology at the University of Washington. Kelly received a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Washington, and postdoctoral training at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her work bridges several facets of regenerative medicine, including pluripotent stem cell biology, transplantation, tissue engineering, and micro/nanofabrication. In particular, she has made several seminal contributions in the development of complex multicellular tissues for organ repair, with increasing focus on enhancing tissue function, microvascularization, and organization. Some examples include the construction of functional scaffold-free cardiac tissue from pluripotent stem cells, the subsequent ‘pre-vascularization’ of these tissues using the intrinsic capacity of microvascular cells to self-organize, and the geometric control of multicellular patterning for optimal parenchymal function and microvascular ingrowth after implantation.
