The Mechanobiology and Microfluidics Research Group is dedicated to exploring the complex mechanobiology of the human cardiovascular system using advanced microfluidic technologies.
Mechanobiology and Microfluidics Research Group engineers artificial vessel models to recapitulate the structural, biophysical, and hemodynamic properties of human vessels under customised physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
We use these vessel models for exploring fundamental molecular and cellular processes underlying various cardiovascular diseases and screening new drugs.
Our research is interdisciplinary and includes researchers from RMIT’s School of Health and Biomedical Sciences and School of Engineering.
Contact our leadership team if you have any questions about our research group.
