Marcos Cortes-Medina studies the mechanical and biochemical properties of tissue and how they influence disease processes such as cancer and abnormal blood vessel growth. His work combines lab-grown tissue models (like microvessels-on-a-chip and collagen-based hydrogels) with biophysical measurements to understand how the extracellular matrix (the structural scaffolding around cells) affects processes like tumor spread, blood vessel formation, and effects of hormone-disrupting chemicals on breast tissue. This research is relevant to students interested in bioengineering approaches to cancer biology, tissue engineering, and microfluidic device design.
