Biomedical Engineering and Regenerative Surgery

The Biomedical Engineering and Regenerative Surgery research lab at Johns Hopkins University led by Principal Investigator Dr. Devin O’Brien Coon studies the biology of skin, soft tissue and the extracellular matrix. Specific areas of research inquiry include regenerative medicine, organ tissue engineering and scarring/fibrosis within post-surgical and pathologic settings. Current project examples include decellularization of complex organ and tissue scaffolds for surgical applications and development of customizable 3D microtissue models of fibrosis and scar for patient-specific diagnostic or therapeutic screening.
