| Dr. Cheng's basic science research is in the areas of tissue engineering and bladder physiology. He is currently collaborating with Dr. Samuel Stupp, a leader in the field of nanotechnology, and Dr. Bradley Kropp at the University of Oklahoma. Together, they are investigating different methods of promoting tissue specific regeneration in the urinary tract with an emphasis on bladder regeneration. Dr. Cheng currently has a grant from the New York Academy of Medicine and the National Institute of Health to determine the differences that exist between cultured cells from the neuropathic bladder and normal bladder and the implications that these differences have for future tissue engineering techniques.
