Research Interests

Dr. Hahn’s research focuses on understanding cell-cell and cell-material interactions at a more fundamental level to rationally guide tissue regeneration. Vocal fold tissue and cardiovascular tissues are used as model systems for probing cell response to controlled external stimuli. Areas of current emphasis include controlling material mechanical and chemical properties at the microscale, vascular tissue engineering and vocal fold regeneration.
