The general goal of our laboratory is to research design and build in vitro systems that simulate cardiovascular flows, hemodynamic shear forces, and blood-tissue interaction.
In addition, the laboratory conducts a wide program of numerical bio-simulations.

Focus

• In Vitro Biological Flows.
• Hemodynamics.
• Endothelial Cell and Platelets activation.
• Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV).
• Vulnerable Plaque.
• Blood-Tissue Interaction.

Facilities
The Cardiovascular System and Bioengineering Laboratory is located in room 401 of the Multidisciplinary Research Building in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. We have in-house facilities for experimental and numerical studies of blood flow in cardiovascular system, including implanted devices. Experimental studies based mainly on Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) method.
