Towards systems tissue engineering: elucidating the dynamics, spatial coordination, and individual cells driving emergent behaviors
Biomaterial systems have allowed for the in vitro production of complex, emergent tissue behaviors that were not possible with conventional 2D culture systems allowing for analysis of the normal development as well as disease processes. We propose that the path towards developing the design parameters for biomaterial systems lies with identifying the molecular drivers of emergent behavior through leveraging technological advances in systems biology, including single cell omics, genetic engineering, and high content imaging. This research focus, which we term systems tissue engineering, can uniquely interrogate the mechanisms by which complex tissue behaviors emerge with the potential to capture the contribution of i) dynamic regulation of tissue development and dysregulation, ii) single cell heterogeneity and the function of rare cell types, and iii) the spatial distribution and structure of individual cells and cell types within a tissue. Collectively, systems tissue engineering can facilitate the identification of biomaterial design parameters that will accelerate basic science discovery and translation.

Building artificial intelligence virtual tissue (AIVT) for tissue state representation, feature prediction, and dynamic simulation
Modeling tissue states and their transitions is essential for understanding tissue homeostasis in health and pathological remodeling in disease. However, conventional computational modeling approaches are inadequate to c…
Learning noisy tissue dynamics across time scales
Tissue dynamics play a crucial role in biological processes ranging from inflammation to morphogenesis. However, these noisy multicellular dynamics are notoriously hard to predict. Here, we introduce a biomimetic machine…
Accounting for the geometry of the respiratory tract in viral infections
Increasingly, experimentalists and modellers alike have come to recognise the important role of spatial structure in infection dynamics. Almost invariably, spatial computational models of viral infections - as with in vi…
