Biography

Estelle Park received her Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Korea University, and her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 2023. Her research primarily focuses on utilizing engineered tissues and organoid models to comprehend the biomechanical and biochemical cues that influence stem cell differentiation, maturation, function, and disease progression, with particular emphasis on the lungs and intestines. Her work is particularly notable for advancing the growth of stem cell-derived organoids within physiologically relevant microenvironments. She incorporates the use of microengineered organ-on-a-chip devices to investigate tissue morphogenesis and to identify biomarkers for diseases affecting the intestinal and lung systems.
