  1. research

Computation, Modeling & Signal Processing research topics include: neuroengineering to map and modify neural signaling; quantitative mechanobiology to reveal how physical forces and changes in the mechanics of cells and their environment drives cell signaling and responses; biological dynamics to describe and understand time varying biological systems; and the development of enabling methods such as quantitative image processing, machine learning and signal processing algorithms.

Marley Dewey

Assistant Professor of Bioengineering
The Dewey Lab engineers biomaterials with extracellular vesicles towards skeletal repair. Specifically, we examine a new class of extracellular vesicle residing in the extracellular matrix, termed matrix-bound nanovesicles. Using these tools we answer basic science questions and create translational therapies related to bone cancer, improving bone repair, preventing bone infection, and repairing coral reefs.
