Biography:
Dr. Betty Li is currently a researcher in the Human Health Therapeutics Research Center and adjunct professor with The Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University. Her current research focus is on developing microphysiological systems such as Organ-on-Chip blood brain barrier (BBB) model by integrating human stem cell technologies, 3D bioprinting, synthetic biomaterials, microfluidic design and microfabrication to recapitulate the structural and functional complexity of the human tissues in vitro. These models will de-risk preclinical drug discovery and development processes for disease treatment.
Research Interests:
Biomaterials, 3D bioprinting, microphysiological systems (MPS), new approach methodology (NAM), organ-on-chip (OOC) models, biomechanics
