Please be advised of scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, June 11, 2024. Expect downtime for most of the day. All running tool sessions will expire during the maintenance window, please plan accordingly. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I am working with Prof Beth Pruitt's microsystems lab to study the biophysical underpinnings of cell-cell & cell-substrate interactions. I aim to use using microscale fabrication techniques & spatial cell patterning of hydrogel surfaces via extracellular matrix protein deposition to control cellular structure. I'm interested in multiple cell types including epithelia & cardiomyocytes.
I'm currently forming directions for my thesis project, so let me know if you have suggestions or interesting literature!
I received my undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley, specializing in microfluidics research for life science and clinical medicine. Generally, I am excited about applications of lab-on-a-chip technology in analytical chemistry, developmental biology, and regenerative medicine (tissue & stem cell engineering).
