Adipose Tissue Engineering and Physiology

We Engineer Fat Tissue Tools for Real-World Impact.

Whether you’re interested in collaborative research, emerging technologies, or translational applications—


Our lab is building the tools to make it possible.

Slide 1
Engineering Tools

At the Gonzalez Porras FatLab, we specialize in developing advanced tools and novel therapies to modulate fat cell metabolism. Our research integrates tissue engineering, cellular imaging, and molecular analysis to address critical challenges in cancer, obesity, and thermoregulatory disorders.

Slide 2
Recreating Histologic Environments for Focused Research.

Our lab employs cutting-edge methodologies to reconstruct physiologically relevant microenvironments and provide novel platforms for investigating disease progression and therapeutic efficacy.

Slide 3
Applying Modern Techniques to Engineer Tomorrow’s Tissues.

Leveraging interdisciplinary approaches, we explore tissue engineering innovations to design and optimize cellular models that simulate pathological and regenerative processes in cancer and metabolic diseases.

Slide 4
Nanoparticle-based Strategies.

We leverage our pioneering research in nanoparticle technology for effective disease management and treatment.
