Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering Laboratory at UH
The Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering Laboratory (CTEL) focuses on developing tools to investigate cardiovascular disease mechanisms. These tools can aid in discovering novel therapeutic targets and assess drug efficacy. Our team has interests in microdevices/ organs-on-chips, stem cells, heart disease, and sickle cell disease. We use tissue culture, lithography, gene assays, and various imaging techniques to investigate disease mechanisms.
