Carlos Aguilar is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on understanding and engineering muscle function within the Nano-Omic-Bio-Engineering-Lab (NOBEL). He aims to generate fundamental insights into essential processes of muscle such as development, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and response to stimuli, applying these findings to relevant models of muscular dystrophy, aging, and trauma-related disabilities. Aguilar's primary research thrusts include muscle stem cell biology and its implications for muscle regeneration, investigating myogenic lineage progression and the communication networks that dictate cellular behavior. His work also explores cellular reprogramming, cell-fate plasticity, and the interactions between transcriptional and epigenetic factors in response to environmental stimuli. Furthermore, he engages in the development of micro/nanodevices to manipulate single cells and molecules, intersecting areas such as bio-MEMS, microfluidics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering.
