Bioengineering
HPC scientists design new molecular probes, biosensors, synthetically engineered circuits, and optical devices that promise unprecedented levels of insight into physiological systems. HPC scientists pioneer in-vivo imaging technologies that promise a paradigm shift in understanding molecular-metabolic regulation at the cellular-, tissue- and organismal level.
Principal Investigators
HPC Principal Investigators are outstanding scientists with a proven track record in their respective fields and the ambition to make a difference in biomedicine, harnessing engineering and informatics tools. They are interdisciplinary by nature, highly collaborative, and committed to drive a globally competitive research program.
Jian Cui
Nanomaterials and Nanophotonics
Jian’s team synthesizes novel classes of nanomaterials with unique chemical and optical properties. We aim to apply these materials towards the development of unconventional approaches to biological imaging and sensing.
Janna Nawroth
Mechanobiology Lab
Janna’s group is an interdisciplinary team of biologists and engineers investigating the structure-function relationships of the human airways and other tissues involved in fluid transport.
Oliver Bruns
Next-Generation in vivo Imaging
Oliver's team combines targeted probe development and novel imaging setups to rapidly translate the technological advantages of SWIR into new imaging capabilities for both preclinical- and therapeutic applications.
