Ryo Sudo, Associate Professor, Keio University

Ryo Sudo worked on liver tissue engineering and received his PhD from Keio University in 2005. He then worked on vascular tissue engineering as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2006, he moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology in USA to be a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biological Engineering, where he worked on 3D tissue engineering using a microfluidic device. In 2009, he joined the Department of System Design Engineering, Keio University in Japan as an Assistant Professor. He has been an Associate Professor since 2012. His laboratory focuses on the application of microfluidic systems to in vitro tissue engineering. Specifically, he is interested in elucidating engineering principles for the integrity of multi-cellular 3D systems composed of liver, vascular, neural, and cancer cells in the context of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
