Dr. Nathaniel Huebsch is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. His lab focuses on fundamentally understanding how mechanical cues originating at cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix contacts influence signaling and fate. They are especially interested in how those cues affect heart development and disease, and how to leverage these cues to engineer 3D models of human tissue for disease modeling and drug discovery, and to design new biomaterials for tissue regeneration.
