Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at Rice University and Co-Founder at Volumetric, Inc.
Jordan Miller's expertise in biomaterials and regenerative medicine combines synthetic chemistry, three-dimensional (3D) printing, microfabrication, and molecular imaging to direct cultured human cells to form more complex organizations of living vessels and tissues.
Advances in his lab are being made through 3D-printed scaffolds and structures for diverse biomaterial applications that cross molecular, micro- and meso-length scales. Miller’s engineered microenvironments are used to decouple complex relationships between tissue architecture and cell function, to engineer intricate branching vascular structures and fabricate tissue constructs, and to model disease progression in cancer, thrombosis, and atherosclerosis.
