Shahaf Armon Shilon
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsIn my post-doc work, I study emerged mechanics and coordination through contractility in biological tissues. Specifically, I study the organism Trichoplax Adhaerens, considered the simplest animal known to live today. Despite having no nerves or muscles, it is capable of remarkable coordination. In addition, its top epithelium, despite being ultra-thin (<1um) and lacking infrastructure (ECM or BM) is capable of extreme resilience to external stresses,and maintenance of tissue integrity.

Eneko Axpe Iza
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Materials Science and Engineering
BioEneko Axpe's work is at the interface of materials science, nanomedicine and physics. A major focus is the design, fabrication and characterization of hydrogels and nanocomposites for tissue engineering and drug delivery, as well as the study of mathematical models to predict their behavior. At NASA, Eneko is also developing biomaterials to treat the spaceflight-induced bone loss in astronauts.
Eneko obtained his PhD in Materials Science 2015 at the University of the Basque Country – UPV/EHU, pursuing part of his doctoral research at the University of Oxford (Department of Physics). In 2016, Eneko became a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge (Department of Engineering). He also worked as Supervisor of Mechanics at Clare College, University of Cambridge. Two years later, Eneko moved to California to work in an interdisciplinary joint research project between the Appel Lab at Stanford Engineering and NASA (AMES Research Center).
