Expertise
My expertise spans the isolation, culture, and differentiation of human and animal primary cells, with a strong focus on establishing physiologically relevant in vitro systems. I have extensive experience in the generation, isolation, and processing of cell-derived extracellular matrix (cdECM) as a biomaterial, including its characterization and application in tissue engineering. This also includes metabolic glycoengineering approaches for the functionalization of cdECM to tailor its biochemical properties for specific applications.
Additionally, I specialize in the development of serum-free cell culture media tailored to defined cell types and model systems. My work on human adipose tissue models integrates advanced cell culture techniques, custom media formulation, and biomaterial-based strategies to create robust and translational platforms for research.
