Dr de Lázaro leads the NanoBioEngineering for Tissue Reprogramming and Regeneration laboratory at NYU Tandon. Her team is interested in understanding how genetic, biochemical and mechanical signals impact cell plasticity, identity and function. The lab’s mission is to apply this knowledge in combination with nanomedicine and bioengineering strategies to develop therapeutic interventions that modulate cell fate, for example, to induce tissue regeneration or rejuvenation, or that enhance cellular function, for example, in the context of immunotherapies.
