Wenzhi is a Master’s student in Mechanobiology and Microfluidics laboratory at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute.

His research focuses on developing bioengineered in vitro models of Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD) by using 3D hydrogel-based organ-on-a-chip model to study the biological processes behind valve calcification.

Wenzhi aims to bridge the gap between fundamental disease mechanisms and novel therapeutic strategies to find a potential pharmaceutic treatment to help CAVD patients.
