Dr. Tracy Hookway is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Binghamton University's Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science. Her research specializes in developing predictive in vitro models of human cardiovascular tissues using multi-scale 3D cultures of stem cells. Key research areas include tissue development, homeostasis, pathophysiological states, and bi-directional cell-environment interactions.
Research interests focus on:
- Stem cell-driven tissue morphogenesis
- Cardiovascular tissue engineering
- Age-specific tissue changes
- Bioprocessing optimization
- Cell-extracellular matrix dynamics
Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on cardiac tissue engineering (73% of recent articles), stem cell differentiation (60%), and advanced imaging/bioprinting techniques (47%). Awards include the American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship and multiple innovation awards from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
