Associate Graduate Chair, Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering 2130 Lurie Biomedical Engineering 1101 Beal Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2110 Phone: (734) 615-9587 Fax: (734) 647-4834 Email: dsept@umich.edu Website: septlab.engin.umich.edu/ More Info: Research in the Sept lab covers four primary areas. The first focuses on the molecular interactions underlying cell migration, a process central to many aspects of development, differentiation and the cellular response to diseases such as cancer. Related to this is work characterizing and developing drugs that target sub-cellular filaments to treat parasitic diseases like toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis and malaria. The third area of research is on channels that regulate the flow of ions in and out of the cell, how these channels are activated and how they malfunction in diseases such as epilepsy. The final research area is on nanoparticle based drug delivery and how these particle drug combinations are metabolized and distributed within the body. Research Areas: Bio-Nanotechnology, Biomedical Computation and Modeling, Drug Delivery and Therapeutics. |

Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering 2126 Lurie Biomedical Engineering 1101 Beal Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2110 Phone: (734) 615-3360 Email: shikanov@umich.edu Website: www.bme.umich.edu/labs/shikanov/ More Info: The research of Dr. Shikanov translates the principles of biomaterials science and tissue engineering to the field of reproductive biology. The goal of this research is to preserve fertility in cancer patients by creating an artificial environment that supports in vitro folliculogenesis and subsequent growth of an artificial ovary. Sustaining ovarian follicle culture is a bioengineering challenge due to the unique spatio-temporal dynamics with respect to the developmental stage of the ovarian follicle. Design of tunable and functional hydrogels that support and direct biological functions can address this challenge. Other research projects include tumor engineering and reproductive toxicology. The former aims to screen anticancer drug efficacy using 3D hydrogel-based culture systems of in vitro grown tumors. The latter predicts and correlates the effects of various toxins on reproductive system in a biologically relevant environment mimicking in vivo conditions. This approach allows omitting time and resource consuming animal experiments in the screening process. Research Areas: Artificial Organs, Biomaterials, Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. |

Associate Undergraduate Chair, Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering 2146 Lurie Biomedical Engineering 1101 Beal Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2110 Phone: (734) 764 8313 Email: jpsteg@umich.edu Website: www.bme.umich.edu/labs/cmite/ More Info: Professor Stegemann's Cell-Matrix Interactions and Tissue Engineering laboratory focuses on the use of extracellular environments to control cell function and promote tissue regeneration. The group's work involves characterizing how cells interact with the 3D environment that surrounds them in native tissues, including the extracellular matrix, soluble biochemicals, and mechanical forces. The lab then uses this knowledge to create composite materials using proteins and polysaccharides to direct cell function, and to deliver cells for therapeutic purposes. Current application areas are in creating electrically conductive biopolymers for nerve regeneration, developing new materials to enhance bone repair, and improving the delivery of cells to treat heart failure. Research Areas: Bio-Nanotechnology, Biomaterials, Organ and Whole Body Biomechanics, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. |
