Biography

Tyler Huycke is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the intricate processes involved in organ morphogenesis and the development of the gastrointestinal tract. By employing advanced microscopy techniques and transgenic mouse models, he explores how molecular signals and physical forces influence cell shape and tissue structure during development. Huycke's work aims to decode the design principles underlying tissue formation, which can have significant implications for tissue engineering and regeneration. By examining how diseases such as cancer and inflammatory bowel disease disrupt normal tissue architecture, his research seeks to facilitate the creation of organoids that closely resemble real organs and improve strategies for tissue repair.
