Research Interests
Major research interest in the Sant laboratory is to engineer three-dimensional disease microenvironments and organoids by developing novel biomaterials- and micro-/nanotechnology-based approaches. We are also interested in utilizing bioinformatic-based approaches to explore novel mechanisms and targets. Our disease focus includes breast cancer, ectopic calcifications and infectious diseases. The major goals are: 1) to elucidate molecular mechanisms by which microenvironmental factors drive disease progression as well as tissue repair/regeneration; and 2) to design therapeutic strategies to halt or promote such processes.
