Research Highlights

Selected milestones connecting fundamental bioengineering to applications.

Selected research outcomes

Translation into veterinary medicine

Research on transgenic chicken bioreactors contributed to technology associated with Epovet, a veterinary medicine for feline renal anemia.

Artificial avian embryo culture

Our work on ex ovo embryo culture has gained renewed relevance to avian conservation; practical conservation applications require further validation.

Cell-produced heparin-like glycans

Engineering CHO glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis offers a potential alternative production route for anticoagulant materials.

Inducible hepatic function

Heat-responsive engineered hepatoma cells are being explored for drug evaluation and bioartificial liver systems.
