OverviewAI-generated summary

Morten Ø. Jensen's research focuses on the development and application of engineering principles to address cardiovascular health challenges. His work involves creating advanced flow phantoms that mimic human cardiovascular systems, utilizing tissue-mimicking gels for realistic testing of medical devices. Jensen investigates the behavior of nanoparticles, specifically PEGylated gold nanoparticles, in cardiomyocytes, examining their toxicity based on size, concentration, and exposure duration.

His research extends to in vitro models for studying critical cardiovascular events. This includes developing models for blood clot formation and dissolution to evaluate new stroke-treatment devices, as well as an in vitro mitral valve model that allows for precise control of static trans-mitral pressure. Jensen also employs numerical studies to understand hemodynamic flow patterns in patients with congenital heart disease, such as in the aortic vessel of individuals with Williams syndrome.

Jensen is an ARA Academy member (ARA Scholar) and a federal grant principal investigator. His scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 19, with 124 total publications and 1,536 total citations. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas, including Sam E. Stephens, Hanna Jensen, Paul C. Millett, and Jingxian Wu, with whom he has multiple shared publications.
