About Us

Bringing together state-of-the-art imaging approaches to develop and test new 3D tissue models.

We are developing a toolkit of new technologies (3D tissue models, label-free imaging approaches, novel image analysis methods) to make fundamental discoveries related to tissue biology and remodeling and to accelerate the translation of important discoveries into animal models and clinical settings. Our transdisciplinary approach creates a synergistic space where ideas from various perspectives converge productively.

Revolutionizing Our Understanding of Tissue Structure

The Team

We are a group of experts from different disciplines working together to tackle one of the biggest challenges of modern times: the characterization and recreation of tissue microenvironments.

Research

We seek answers to questions related to tissue homeostasis and disease. New technologies resulting from our work will facilitate diagnosis and treatment of many chronic diseases.

Infrastructure

Our state-of-the-art microscopy and analytical techniques allow us to analyze the complex biochemical and biophysical processes that occur in tissue microenvironments.

Training

By providing research opportunities and developing educational programs for the larger community, we are helping Ontario and, indeed, all of Canada build expertise in emerging but increasingly important areas of research, including tissue engineering and imaging.
