Daniel Cohen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. His research focuses primarily on bioengineering applications, particularly in the realm of biomaterials and tissue engineering. The Cohen lab explores innovative methods to leverage collective swarming behaviors to facilitate tissue healing, growth, and the formation of complex structures. By integrating engineering approaches, the lab seeks to develop new ways to control these behaviors. For example, they employ 'outside-in' techniques to guide tissue building through microfluidic bioelectric devices, which orchestrate the migration of hundreds to thousands of cells in a manner akin to herding sheep. This technology enables enhanced control over tissue growth, significantly speeding up the wound healing process. Additionally, they create cell-mimetic materials with microstructures that can seamlessly integrate with living tissues for 'inside-out' control. Cohen's work spans a variety of disciplines, making it accessible and welcoming to individuals from diverse backgrounds who are interested in joining the research efforts.
