Kit Parker Biography

Kit is interested in cardiac cell biology and tissue engineering, as well as traumatic brain damage and biological applications of micro-and nanotechnologies. Kit is active in initiatives ranging from producing organs-on-chips to developing nano fabrics for tissue regeneration in both the Biomimetic Microsystems Platform and the Programmable Nanomaterials Platform. He is now working on a heart-lung micromachine that will speed up medication safety and efficacy testing, thanks to funding from the National Institutes of Health and the US Food and Drug Administration. The micromachine will expand on his previous collaboration with Don Ingber to establish a method for creating tiny, intricate 3D models of human organs that imitate complex mechanical, biological, and biochemical capabilities. Kit has been spearheading an effort to build protein nano fabrics as a big step forward in tissue regeneration in the field of nanomaterials. Synthetic polymers are commonly used to provide scaffolding in current tissue regeneration procedures. However, when the polymers deteriorate, this strategy may have detrimental consequences. Nano fabrics, on the other hand, are formed from the same proteins as regular tissue, so they can be degraded by the body without causing harm once they are no longer needed. Initial findings have created strands of the heart muscle that are identical to papillary muscle, which might lead to novel ways for heart repair and regeneration.
