Microstructural non-linear finite-element analysis of rat myocardium with hydrogel biomaterial inclusions
Hydrogel biomaterial injectate therapies have emerged as a promising treatment modality for myocardial infarction (MI). Studies conducted on small and large animal models have yielded positive results in improving cardiac function and reducing adverse ventricular remodelling post-MI. These …

Hydrogel platform to investigate the coordinated impact of niche signals on hematopoietic stem cell fate
… thesis, I describe the development of a gradient hydrogel platform that enables co-culture of HSCs with multiple niche components, namely exogenous niche cells, extracellular matrix proteins, and matrix-tethered biomolecular signals. Gradients in microenvironmental signals are common across the …
