Postdoctoral Scholar, Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine
Mentors: Anthony Atala, MD, James Yoo, MD, Robert Hampson, PhD
Dr. Brendyn Miller is a postdoctoral researcher at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. He earned his doctorate in Bioengineering from Clemson University where his research was focused on developing computational and experimental platforms for studying systems mechanobiology under the mentorship of Dr. William Richardson and Dr. Jeremy Mercuri.
Dr. Miller’s current research is focused on developing a bioreactor system for preconditioning and maturing urological tissue constructs. More specifically, he is engineering a sensor integrated bioreactor system that is capable of applying several physiologically relevant mechanical and biochemical conditions to urological tissue constructs to simulate those observed in the body. It is hypothesized that successful application of these stimuli to the tissue constructs during maturation could help enhance the performance of urologically engineered tissues following implantation. His mentor team, led primarily by Dr. Anthony Atala and Dr. James Yoo, includes Dr. Robert Hampson.
