Sherry L. Voytik‐Harbin

This researcher studies collagen, a structural protein found throughout the body, and how its molecular self-assembly and fibril microstructure can be engineered into biomaterials for tissue regeneration, including bone, dental, vascular, and tumor-related applications. Their work combines collagen biophysics with cell biology, examining how cells sense and respond to the physical and mechanical properties of their surrounding matrix (extracellular matrix). This includes creating 3D tissue models to study processes like cancer cell invasion, blood vessel formation (vasculogenesis), and immune cell responses to implanted materials.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with a peak around 2017 and lower activity around 2019 and 2022, but has remained relatively steady with modest recent output averaging under 4 papers per year over the last five years.
