How can we build replacement tissues, block the progression of diseases like aging and cancer, and accelerate the development of life saving drugs? In the Gartner Lab, we believe the answer lies in understanding and harnessing the power of tissue self-organization.

Our long-term goal is to reveal new strategies for building replacement human tissues and organs as well as for halting the breakdown in tissue structure that underlies diseases like aging and cancer. A necessary step towards achieving this goal is to establish a more fundamental understanding of tissue self-organization, the process through which living matter builds itself into complex and functional three-dimensional forms.

    Our goal is to reveal how tissue structure emerges through programs of self-organization and to harness these programs for regenerative medicine and to block the progression of disease.
