Christian Paulos

As an ISCRM-Bothell Fellow, Christian Paulos will conduct research with the Sniadecki and Qu Labs, where is working on developing engineered human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived tendon constructs as an in vitro strategy for studying tendon mechanobiology and physiology. His work involves applying an established protocol for tenogenic differentiation using biological morphogens and embedding the differentiated cells into 3D collagen hydrogels suspended between flexible PDMS posts.
