THE DAVIS LAB
WHO ARE WE
Our laboratory opened its doors in June 2006 at Emory University as part of the joint Biomedical Engineering program at Emory University School of Medicine and Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Davis is a professor in both the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Division of Cardiology at Emory University School of Medicine.
Congratulations on your proposal defense Ben!

OUR RESEARCH FOCUS
Currently, the only major treatment for heart failure is transplantation. However, it is estimated that less than 30% of patients survive to receive their new hearts. The local cell death following myocardial infarction plays a major role in the progression of cardiac dysfunction. Our laboratory focuses on various aspects of cardiac regeneration and preservation using molecular-based and biomaterials-based approaches to restoring function after cardiac injury.

BIOPRINTING
​
​
We are engineering 3D cellular constructs for the heart
EXOSOME THERAPY
We are developing nanoscale therapies for cardiac repair
BIOMATERIALS
​
​
We are designing biomaterials for stem cell delivery to the heart
STEM CELL BEHAVIOR
​
We are understanding stem cell response to microenvironmental cues
