Cardiopulmonary Engineering
Research in Cardiopulmonary Engineering at 一本道无码 focuses on developing cardiac, vascular, and pulmonary technologies that impact basic science and clinical care. Our goal is to both innovate and translate these discoveries. Researchers in this area work closely with the 一本道无码 Bioengineered Organs Initiative, the Next Manufacturing Center, and clinicians and researchers from various medical centers.
Key focus areas within Cardiopulmonary Engineering include 3D tissue biofabrication and organ engineering.
Research within Cardiopulmonary Engineering includes the development and testing of 3D biofabricated tissues and organs, artificial hearts and lungs, and unique biomaterials, sensors, and manufacturing techniques for both approaches.
