Disease in a Dish
Bridging stem cell technology, genetic research, and drug discovery
Research Mission
We develop functional cardiac tissue models to uncover genetic mechanisms underlying inherited heart rhythm and muscle disorders, study drug responses, and advance precision medicine. By integrating stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and high-resolution analysis, our translational research bridges bench to bedside to improve cardiovascular health.
