The Hutcheson Lab

Our work focuses on the mechanisms through which tissues are built and maintained and the pathological changes that lead to disease. Our research combines advanced imaging, materials science, biomechanics, and molecular biology to connect cellular processes to tissue function. By understanding the ways that cells sense and respond to each other and to changes in the extracellular environment, we can develop new ways to detect initiators of disease and interventions that restore tissue to a normal state. To learn more about our efforts, check out our publications and description of ongoing projects. We are always looking for talented and enthusiastic researchers interested in joining our interdisciplinary team!
