Thrilled to be the director of the new Center for Space Medicine Research at Cedars-Sinai! 🚀
We study the impact of spaceflight on cell function and harnessing microgravity to make unique bioproducts in space.
Come explore what we’re working on!

Can you imagine using water droplets to build diodes, transistors and even artificial neuron synapses?
Check out our new paper on #Dropletronics that was published on Science!

Rosie, 2nd PhD Student: "I mean, it's hard to think of somewhere better for science than Oxford. There's the facilities, there's just this environment of learning, and I've had nothing but support from my supervisors.”
Applications close on 3rd Dec.

Today our paper came out in @ScienceMagazine doi.org/10.1126/science.adr0…
Outlining biocompatible droplets that can interface with human heart cells in the dish and sense changes in function.
Congratulations @yujiayogazhang and Cheryl Tan for this pioneering work. @wellcometrust
