The HematoVascular Engineering Laboratory integrates hematology, vascular biology, and biomedical engineering to reimagine blood as a mechanosensitive tissue that actively regulates cardiovascular health and disease. We aim to discover novel biomarkers that detect abnormalities in blood cell mechanobiology before the manifestation of cardiovascular risk factors, a concept known as primordial prevention
