Caroline Cheng

Caroline Cheng serves as Associate Professor at Utrecht University within the strategic programs of Circulatory Health and Regenerative Medicine & Stem Cells at UMC Utrecht. Her research bridges cardiovascular pathology with advanced tissue engineering approaches, focusing on translational applications for vascular diseases.

Her primary research domains include:

• Regenerative Medicine
• Stem Cell Differentiation
• Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering
• Vascular Aging Mechanisms
• Fibrosis Pathophysiology
• 3D Biomimetic Models

Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on iPSC-derived vascular models, mechanical stimulus responses in 3D hydrogels, and fibrosis mechanisms. Her work integrates stem cell biology with biomechanical engineering to create human-relevant vascular organoids and macrovessel models, advancing regenerative solutions for circulatory disorders. Key methodological approaches include proteomic ECM analysis, vascular aging modeling, and flow-adaptive cell culture systems.

No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials.

While student mentorship details remain unspecified, her collaborative publications indicate active supervision of junior researchers in vascular biology projects. Current research appears supported through Utrecht University's strategic programs in Circulatory Health and Regenerative Medicine, though specific grant mechanisms aren't detailed.

Her experimental work centers on developing 3D vascular models using iPSC technology and hydrogel systems, with emphasis on creating human-relevant platforms for studying vascular pathologies and testing regenerative therapies.
