Jerry Chen
Dr. Chen’s interest include studying the relationship between local circuits and long-range networks in the mammalian neocortex. By taking an integrative approach through combining large-scale in vivo imaging technology with molecular and genetic tools in the awake-behaving animal, he focuses on both long-range neocortical networks, and long-range cortical circuits during development. Previous REU/RET Projects include: […]
Christopher Chen
Dr. Christopher Chen is the principal investigator at the Tissue Microfabrication Lab. The lab’s projects include vascular, cardiac, and stem cell biology and engineering. Goals of the lab include building biomimetic tissues as experimental models and to direct tissue remodeling and regeneration through understanding how adhesive, mechanical and biochemical interactions drive cell and tissue function. Previous REU/RET Projects include: Developing Anchoring Methods to Generate and Mature […]
Ji-Xin Cheng
2026 REU Project: Imaging tumor spheroid by SWIR CARS Dr. Cheng’s research interests include medical photonics, neurophotonics, molecular spectroscopic imaging technologies, label-free microscopy, cancer metabolism, and photonics for infectious diseases. Cheng and his team have invented a series of chemical microscopes that use spectroscopic signals to map molecular interactions inside a living system temporally and […]

Dr. Terry Ching is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Tissue Microfabrication Lab. Previous REU/RET Projects include: Engineering Vascular Beds that Connect to Ex Vivo Tissue (2023)
Brianne Connizzo
2026 RET Project: Coming Soon Professor Connizzo’s Lab seeks to understand the regulation of tissue structure-function relationships through cell-controlled extracellular matrix remodeling influenced by development, injury, aging, and disease. Specifically, we are interested in how the multi-scale collagen structure of tendons and ligaments is able to transmit dynamic load from the whole tissue to individual […]
