Research
Gregory Underhill’s laboratory research is focused on studying cellular fate decisions, including in particular, the tissue development and engineering of the liver. These efforts are at the interface of cell and developmental biology, genomics, biomaterials, and microfabrication. The Underhill Lab aims to develop engineered culture platforms that enable the controlled presentation of microenvironmental signals, facilitate high-throughput parallel analysis of extracellular signals and intrinsic genetic/epigenetic alterations, and integrate with in vivo models of tissue development and diseases, such as cancer.
