Valvular Physiology, Mechanobiology, and Bioengineering

Dr. Michael Sacks is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. He is a world authority on cardiovascular biomechanics, particularly on the biomechanical behavior and function of heart valves and developing patient-specific simulation-based approaches for the treatment of valve diseases. His research is based on rigorous quantification, mathematical modeling, and simulation of the mechanical behavior of the cells and tissues of the cardiovascular system in health and disease. His approaches include multi-scale studies of cell/tissue/organ, especially how they mechanical interact as a system. Dr. Sacks is also active in the biomechanics of engineered tissues and scaffolds and in understanding the in-vitro and in-vivo remodeling processes from a functional biomechanical perspective.
