Dr Jingjing Li is aÌý Postdoctoral Fellow at the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering. She is working with on ARC Linkage and CRC-P project developing an automated microscale bioreactor for cell and gene therapy. Her research is at the interface of biology and engineering, focusing on the development of microfluidic organ on chip systems and their application in stem cell science, cardiovascular and blood development.Ìý

Being trained as a biomedical engineer, she developed multidiscipline skills spans from microfluidics, stem cell biology, and bioinformatics. Her PhD and Post-Doctoral research focus on studying the influence of pulsatile fluid shear stress on human embryonic blood formation using microfluidic model mimicking foetal circulation, live cell imaging of Ìýand single-cell RNA sequencing of developing blood niches. She is now working on upscaling theÌýmicrofluidic organ-on-a-chip models and applying them in the expansion, maturation and engraftment of blood stem and progenitor cells.

1. Modelling human heart, vascular and blood development from pluripotent stem cells on a microfluidic chip

We have used lab-on-chip to mimicÌýÌýand to model human blood formation from cells that line blood vessels. We are currently studying the influence of pulsatile blood flow and circulation on the generation of precursor blood stem cells. We are also investigating the use of hydrogels to pattern embryonic development of the cardiovascular system.

2. Enhancing the development of aortic vasculature and blood stem cell from pluripotent stem cells using dynamic culture system

We use upscaled Microfluidic circulation system and orbital shearing culture system to enhance the development of precursor blood stem cells. This work has been featured in Ìýand .

3. Stem cell engineering: the modification of human CD34+ blood stem and progenitor cells.

CD34+ blood stem and progenitor cells derived from sources such as cord blood, bone marrow, mobilised peripheral blood, and human pluripotent stem cells can be manipulated through various techniques of separation, stimulation and genetic modification. These modifications target the genetic or physical traits of the cells with the goal of improving their functionality, therapeutic potential, and compatibility for diverse applications in haematopoietic stem cell gene therapy (HSCGT) & immunotherapy.
