CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY

& TISSUE ENGINEERING  


 


Thomas Wang, MS



My research interests primarily revolved around engineering and characterizing 3D cardiac tissue constructs in vitro. Using a combination of techniques ranging from microfabrication and soft lithography to microfluidics, my goal was to grow novel multi-cellular cardiac networks with thicknesses and widths on the order of 100 micron. The underlying motivation of this work was to establish a more biologically-relevant experimental model for study.
