1. Modelling human heart, vascular and blood development from pluripotent stem cells on a microfluidic chip

We have used lab-on-chip to mimicÌýÌýand to model human blood formation from cells that line blood vessels. We are currently studying the influence of pulsatile blood flow and circulation on the generation of precursor blood stem cells. We are also investigating the use of hydrogels to pattern embryonic development of the cardiovascular system.

2. Enhancing the development of aortic vasculature and blood stem cell from pluripotent stem cells using dynamic culture system

We use upscaled Microfluidic circulation system and orbital shearing culture system to enhance the development of precursor blood stem cells. This work has been featured in Ìýand .

3. Stem cell engineering: the modification of human CD34+ blood stem and progenitor cells.

CD34+ blood stem and progenitor cells derived from sources such as cord blood, bone marrow, mobilised peripheral blood, and human pluripotent stem cells can be manipulated through various techniques of separation, stimulation, expansion and genetic modification. These modifications target the genetic, metabolic and functional traits of the cells with the goal of improving their therapeutic potential, and compatibility for diverse applications in haematopoietic stem cell gene therapy (HSCGT) & immunotherapy.
