Overview

Research in the Andreadis group focuses in three areas: tissue engineering, gene therapy and functional genomics. Tissue engineering holds promise for an entirely new approach to the repair and reconstruction of tissues/organs damaged by disease, injury or genetic abnormalities.   Another promising therapeutic modality, gene therapy, is broadly defined as the transfer of genes to cells/tissues for a therapeutic effect. This new technology has the potential to revolutionize tissue engineering by providing the means to impart new functions or enhance existing ones in a tissue/organ substitute. In addition, high throughput technologies such as cDNA and protein arrays may play an important role in tissue engineering to obtain the molecular “fingerprint” of engineered tissues and understand tissue development and tissue integration after implantation in vivo.
