Matthias U. Nollert is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sustainable Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on cardiovascular and orthopedic tissue engineering, computational fluid mechanics of cardiovascular systems, and regenerative medicine utilizing stem cells. He leads studies on vascular cell behavior under fluid flow conditions and collaborates with the OU Health Sciences Center on immune response mechanisms in blood vessels.
Education: Ph.D. Chemical Engineering (Cornell University, 1987); B.S. Chemical Engineering (University of Virginia, 1981). Postdoctoral training at Rice University (1987-1991).
Research emphasizes molecular mechanisms of cell interaction with fluid dynamics, with applications in drug development and tissue engineering. Collaborations span biomedical engineering, materials science, and K-12 STEM education. His lab develops low-cost experimental tools like Arduino-based tensile testers for educational and research purposes.
Recent work includes studies on amniotic membrane scaffolds for vascular constructs, porcine stem cell applications, and TGF-β1 activation under shear stress. While no explicit awards are listed, his contributions to interdisciplinary education are highlighted in multiple publications.
