Advisor: Pat Stayton

Department/status: Bioengineering, 3rd year PhD graduate student, Medical Scientist Training Program

Project overview:
My project focuses on the host response to biomaterials. We have utilized DNA microarrys to examine the response of peripheral blood monocytes to polytetrafluoroethylene- based materials of different surface topography.

Project details:
The central component of the research is to develop novel techniques to pattern cells with high precision, selectivity, reproducibility, and long-term stability on different types of Bio-MEMS for cell-based biosensors. Main application: drug screening.

Skills:
Molecular and cell biology laboratory experience Medical Scientist Training Program, combined MD/PhD program

Relevant honors or funding:
Engineered Biomaterials Training Program Fellowship
Achievement Rewards for College Scientists Fellowship
