Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Tissue engineering, Biomedical engineering, Cell biology, Anatomy and Cellular differentiation are her primary areas of study. Her Tissue engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cartilage, Fibroin, Stem cell, Bioreactor and Mesenchymal stem cell. Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic is interested in Scaffold, which is a field of Biomedical engineering.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Embryonic stem cell, Osteopontin, Immunology and Cell. Her Anatomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Myocyte, Cell culture, Bone marrow and Collagen, type I, alpha 1. In her study, Confocal microscopy is strongly linked to Viability assay, which falls under the umbrella field of Cellular differentiation.

Her most cited work include:

  • Biodegradable Polymer Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering (1036 citations)
  • Stem cell-based tissue engineering with silk biomaterials. (777 citations)
  • Functional assembly of engineered myocardium by electrical stimulation of cardiac myocytes cultured on scaffolds. (746 citations)
