Dr. Danielle Pretorius earned her PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Together with Dr. Jay Zhang, she worked on fabricating cardiac tissue patches from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cells. They have initially made structures using fibrin, but due to the dynamic nature of cells, the extracellular matrix could be completely remodeled. Danielle and her group's fabrication process has allowed them to achieve previously unseen tissue thickness with minimal necrosis, the ability to match viscoelastic properties to those seen in native left ventricular tissue as well as phenomenal conduction velocities throughout the structures.
