Tissue Engineering
The Shay lab tissue engineering group seeds life-extended or immortalized human cells into a variety of three-dimensional (3-D) substrates.
Research
The Shay lab is interested in the relationships between aging and cancer and have focused on the role of the telomeres and telomerase in these processes.
Telomeres and Telomerase
To make sure that genetic information is successfully passed from one generation to the next, each chromosome has a special protective cap called a telomere located at the end of its "arms.”
