Aleksander Skardal's research focuses on building 3D, lab-grown tissue and tumor models made from engineered hydrogels to study cancers such as glioblastoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, osteosarcoma, and pancreatic cancer, as well as organ-on-a-chip systems that mimic organs like the lung and blood-brain barrier. This work aims to better replicate how tumors interact with surrounding tissue, immune cells, and drugs, supporting research into cancer biology and preclinical drug testing. Students in this group would likely work on bioengineering tissue-mimicking devices and testing therapeutic responses using patient-derived cells.
