I completed my Ph.D. in Cole DeForest's Lab at the University of Washington. There I conduct research to develop novel biomaterials for use in vascular, renal, and cardiac tissue engineering. In particular, our group is interested in the use of click-chemistry based hydrogels and photochemistry to control cell function and biology. So called 4D control.

At the University of Washington, I have been trained as a practicing medical clinician for three years. We, at the UW focus on the importance of patient care and patient advocacy. I have been trained in physiology, pathology, infectious disease, and clinical medicine. During my time as a medical student I was involved in two projects culminating in two.

Tsukuba, Japan

Awarded a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science/NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship, I worked with Dr. Mitsuhiro Ebara and Koichiro Uto on the development of smart shape memory materials for biomedical applications. By developing and applying novel thermo-responsive and pH-responsive PCL-based polymers, I created cell culture platforms to study the effects of.

Loss of cartilage due to trauma, surgery, and degenerative disorders like osteoarthritis pose a significant health risk as they impair a patient’s quality of life and mobility. Although a number of different types of surgical treatments are employed, all exhibit significant limitations on their ability to regenerate cartilage. While cell-based therapies.

As an undergraduate, I tested the effects of biomimetic apatite on human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) and mouse MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts and sought to develop a novel calcium phosphate based transfection technique utilizing biomimetic apatite nanoparticles. I co-authored a publication in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering. In that article, we proved.
