The Cell & Tissue Engineering lab space was designed specifically for undergraduate instruction in the BME program. Here, students gain hands-on expertise in cell culture and the newest cell-based engineering techniques, many of which are developed in-house by Hopkins BME faculty and students.

The Cell and Tissue Lab, located in room 114, is a facility that supports educational research and design work within the department. This facility is on the first floor of Clark Hall and requires specialized training through Dr. Jessica Dunleavey.

To enter the lab, students must complete the myLearning Bloodborne Pathogens course. Please login with your JHED credentials.
