Cellular engineering involves studying and altering the inner mechanisms of cells. Our work integrates microfluidics, soft matter physics, cell biology, and imaging to explore how cellular structures form and how cells react to external stimuli. Metabolic engineering is another key approach, focusing on understanding the organization and interactions of metabolic pathways inside cells. A significant research focus at Princeton examines liquid-liquid phase separation in cells, which drives the creation of membrane-less organelles. Tissue engineering examines cell groups—how they develop, the spatial and temporal signals that shape organ structures in health and disease, and how mechanical forces affect cell behavior and organization. Bridging cellular and tissue engineering, researchers investigate morphogenesis (organ development) and embryogenesis (embryo growth from a single fertilized cell). Our team explores how cells collaborate to form intricate tissue structures, creates mathematical models to analyze developmental processes, and examines how physical and chemical factors influence microbial communities and their collective behaviors.

Qualification Requirements
All official Transcripts. A bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent from an accredited college or university. Official transcripts of your grades.
Three letters of recommendation. Applicants are required to upload a transcript (may be unofficial at this time) including the key from all attended colleges or universities.
The transcript must show the name of the student, name of the issuing institution, name of courses taken, and the grades received in those courses.
The Graduate School does not have a minimum TOEFL or IELTS score requirement. If you are offered admission and accept our offer and have scored below a 27 on the Speaking sub-section of the TOEFL iBT or below an 8.0 on the Speaking sub-section of the IELTS you will be required to take an English placement test at the start of the fall term. Students who do not pass the test will be required to enroll in English Language Program classes.
GRE:
General Test - not accepted
Additional departmental requirements
