Dr. Sawyer’s current research interests include visualizing the interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment using bio-printing techniques and precision engineering approaches using an ex vivo platform pioneered in his laboratory. Dr. Sawyer will build the new department at Moffitt Magnolia Campus prior to moving to the Moffitt Center for Innovation at Speros FL. There, the Department of BioEngineering will partner with other departments to accelerate the advances in cancer research and treatment.
