Kaitlyn Zhang is a researcher keen to develop advanced lab-on-a-chip systems to study thrombosis and cancer spheroids. Her work focuses on modeling complex disease microenvironments—such as cancer-associated thrombosis and atherosclerosis—through innovative microfluidic devices that mimic physiological vascular conditions. By integrating biomechanics with cell biology, she aims to improve biomedical diagnostics and provide new platforms for studying thrombosis, metastasis, and cardiovascular disorders.
