Understanding
Tissue Structure
The TEAM Hub draws on different disciplines and perspectives to investigate the role of the tissue microenvironment in disease
We need better tools
to identify changes in biological tissues associated with disease before there is a significant disruption of tissue structure and function. We also need to streamline the development and testing of new therapeutics that can prevent or reverse tissue damage in chronic incurable diseases. The TEAM Hub is constructing a biologically inspired pipeline to generate a dynamic picture of the tissue microenvironment. Combining imaging approaches and 3D artificial tissue models, we investigate the effects of tissue structure on cellular functions, the mechanisms underlying changes in tissues and healing processes, and the factors that affect the body’s response to injuries and diseases.
