Mechanobiology & Microfluidics Lab | Sara Baratchi

The Mechanobiology & Microfluidics Lab, led by Sara Baratchi, investigates how mechanical forces such as shear stress, cyclic stretch, and matrix stiffness regulate immune and vascular cell behaviour in health and cardiovascular disease.

Our research integrates bioengineering, immunology, and clinical science to develop human-relevant organ-on-a-chip models of blood vessels and heart valves. This channel hosts research explainers, visual summaries of publications, and selected talks.
