Dr. Shayn Peirce-Cottler on Alzheimer's and Diabetes, How Disease Impacts the Smallest Blood Vessels

Biomedical Frontiers: Stories with Innovators in Healthcare by Dasha Tyshlek

Episode notes

Microvessels are a crucial part of our body’s circulatory system. They're responsible for delivering the oxygen and nutrients to every cell in your body and are often devastated by diseases like Diabetes and Alzheimer's. Dr. Peirce-Cottler develops computational models and combines them with wet lab experiments to study how tissues heal after injury and to develop therapies for inducing tissue regeneration.
