AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST
Dr. Elise Corbin designs and fabricates versatile biomaterials and engineered 3D tissue models to explore the complex interaction of cells and tissues with their environment for applications in cardiovascular science and cancer. In particular, Dr. Corbin investigates the interactions between physical forces, rheological properties, and biochemical cues regulate virtually all aspects of cell physiology. Specifically, her work involves engineering dynamic microenvironments for control of mechanical stiffness and applied forces across the cardiac cycle.
