Ying Zheng's Biography

Ying Zheng, Associate Professor, Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington

Ying Zheng is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the Unviersity of Washington. She received her BS degree from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2002 in Engineering Thermophysics, and Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2008). Dr. Zheng did her postdoctoral training at Cornell University and joined UW Bioengineering as a faculty since 2011. Her main research interest is to understand and build fundamental structure and functions in living tissue and organ systems.

Engineered tissues have emerged as promising new approaches to repair damaged tissues as well as to provide useful platforms for drug testing and disease modeling. Challenges remain to reconstruct organ-specific vasculature and tissue environment for disease modeling. Here I will present our progress in generating complex vascular structure with large range of diameters and curvatures, by combining multiple fabrication tools, to support its remodeling, thick tissue growth and blood perfusion. I will present means to study organ-specific vascular structure and function. Finally I will summarize the remaining challenges and perspective in exploiting engineering tools to advance our understanding of biology and medicine.
