Research by Catherine K. Kuo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of biomedical engineering in Tufts University's School of Engineering, could yield insight into factors that contribute to orthopedic birth defects that occur in utero, such as club foot. Kuo will use living engineered embryonic tendon tissue in her experiments.
