Dr. Davidian is a staff scientist in the Allen Discovery Center where his research focuses on discovering the mechanisms enabling cells to regenerate tissue following injury or complete loss. Starting his career investigating the effects of electric fields and their influence on planarian stem cells, Devon is dually interested in understanding the tissue microenvironment and the force(s) it exerts on cells during regenerating while appreciating the influence that bioelectric signals have on these same cells. Leveraging his engineering background, Devon develops systems which can be used to augment the microenvironment of damaged tissues to study the effect of exogenous forces or signals throughout the process of wound healing and regeneration.
