Daniel Cohen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. His research focuses primarily on bioengineering applications, specifically in the areas of biomaterials and tissue engineering. His lab explores elegant swarming and collective behaviors that allow tissues to heal injuries and form complex structures. By connecting engineering approaches with biological applications, Professor Cohen and his team develop innovative methods to control these behaviors in new ways. One of their key technologies involves 'outside-in' control of tissues using microfluidic bioelectric devices, which can herd the migration of hundreds to thousands of cells in a manner analogous to sheep herding. This technology significantly accelerates tissue growth and wound healing. Additionally, they create cell-mimetic materials with microstructures that can integrate directly with living tissues, allowing for 'inside-out' control. Cohen's interdisciplinary work welcomes collaboration from individuals with diverse backgrounds, emphasizing the integration of biology and engineering principles.
