Research<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My lab aims to identify the fundamental mechanisms of mammalian organ regeneration. While most mammalian organs fail to recover from damage and deteriorate over time, the liver regenerates: It grows back precisely to correct size within two months in humans and two weeks in mice. We utilize mouse genetics and bioengineered liver cultures in combination with light-sheet microscopy, confocal microscopy, single cell transcriptomics, and spatialomics to study the 1) cellular expansion, 2) cellular reorganization, and 3) the multifaceted signaling that enable liver regeneration.<\/p>\n
