Biomedical and Chemical Engineering Professor Zhen Ma and his research team in conjunction with researchers the University of California – Berkeley have developed a 3D cardiac microtissue model that allows for more realistic studies of cardiac cells.

Biomedical and Chemical Engineering Professor Ian Hosein's research team is conducting research on materials that could be used in the next generation of batteries.

Professor Zhen Ma has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREEER Award for his project entitled “Engineering Stem Cell-Based Cardiac Organoids" centered on using stem cells to study the formation and growth of a heart during embryo development.
