Dr. McGuigan’s mission in the McGuigan lab is to use tissue-engineering strategies to assemble multicellular tissue mimetic platforms that are both physiologically relevant and allow acquisition of high value data for both drug discovery and fundamental research.
Our lab both develops technologies to control cell organization at the tissue scale and the cellular scale and strategies to stratify and visualize complex datasets from these heterogeneous tissue systems. Using these platforms, we are exploring the rules of tissue self-assembly, mechanisms of disease and the development of novel therapies.
