—-------------------------- The BIO5 Institute’s Amy Barber talks with member and one of the University’s experts in biomedical engineering, Dr. Shang Song. Dr. Song’s lab focuses on integrating advanced engineering design methods and cell therapies to create new microphysiological platforms and regenerative therapies. The lab is fundamentally interested in designing new “experiences” for cells to change their behavior, and use this knowledge to develop better therapeutics and treatment methods for future patient treatment. —-------------------------- Check out some of our previous episodes about biomedical engineering projects!

Amy Barber was joined by Dr. Alexander Bucksch, a plant phenomicist and associate professor in the School of Plant Sciences at the University of Arizona. He has over 10 years of experience in developing and applying mathematical and computational methods to study plant morphology and physiology across scales and domains, from the organismal to the ecosystem level, and from above to below-ground. His current research focuses on root phenomics, ranging from the population level to the molecular level. In doing so, he develops computational imaging and simulation techniques that can be applied in the lab and the field.
