Stress in a Microgravity Bioreactor
… project involves the design and development of a cell stretching bioreactor device that can work in conjunction with a Random Positioning Machine (RPM) apparatus. Microgravity environments, such as in space, have been shown to induce alterations in cellular development due to inadequate mechanical …

Chronic Shear Stress Effects on Endothelial Cell Response
… of important regulatory molecules by endothelial cells. Our hypothesis was that inclusion of chronic pulsatile shear stress in our model would lead to changes in endothelial cell release of regulatory molecules. We distinguished between high arterial shear stresses and low venous shear stresses …

Engineering approaches to study lung mechanobiology
… of the interplay between mechanical forces, and cell and tissue biology, and also enabling in vitro replication of the physiological environment. This dissertation describes the development of various engineering approaches to investigate the regulation of the pulmonary blood-gas barrier, and …
