Alexey Kamenskiy, PhD

Biography

Dr. Kamenskiy’s research focuses on understanding human artery function and pathophysiology with the goal of developing more efficient and practical solutions to vascular problems. His team uses ex vivo human artery characterization methods and perfused cadaver models, computational modeling, and in vivo preclinical large animal models and human data to design and evaluate new vascular and endovascular repair materials and devices.

Teaching Interests

Cardiovascular biomechanics, mechanobiology, and mechanophysiology
