Cell and Tissue Engineering

Daniel Thorek
Associate Professor, Radiology
- Email: thorekd@wustl.edu
We are interested in infection and metastasis to the bone, materials for combating these pathologies, and quantitative imaging and targeted therapeutics to treat disease.

Tony Tsai, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor, Developmental Biology
- Email: tonytsai@wustl.edu
The Tsai Lab is interested in the interplay between mechanical and biochemical signals underlying robust pattern formation and morphogenesis in the zebrafish embryos.

Jessica Wagenseil, DSc
Professor, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science
- Email: jessica.wagenseil@wustl.edu
The Wagenseil lab studies how mechanical stimuli regulate large artery formation and remodeling in development and disease.

Conrad (Chris) Weihl, MD, PhD
Professor, Neurology
- Email: weihlc@wustl.edu
The Weihl lab studies neuromuscular disorders with special emphasis on degenerative myopathies.

Kel Vin Woo, MD, PhD
Instructor of Pediatrics
- Email: woo_k@wustl.edu
The Woo lab studies vascular remodeling from the perspective of endothelial and smooth muscle cell reprogramming as induced by hypoxia.


Fuzhong Zhang
Professor, Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering
- Email: fzhang@seas.wustl.edu
Engineering protein-based materials for applications in Regenerative Medicine.

Chao Zhou, PhD
Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering
- Email: chaozhou@wustl.edu
The Zhou lab is interested in developing novel optical imaging technologies for biomedical applications, especially in developing optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microscopy (OCM) technologies to perform "optical biopsy" and generate 3D in situ images of tissue morphology, function and pathological status in real-time without the need to remove and process specimens.
