About

I am Director of Internal Research at Mirimus Inc, Research Assistant Professor of Cell Biology at SUNY, and Visiting Scholar at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. The major goal of my research team is to develop next generation sensing devices for the detection and monitoring of different human health hazards. Previous research directions include the engineering of tissue grafts and tissue replacement products, the manufacturing and testing of implants and biomaterials, the design and validation of bioreactor systems, organ-on-a-chip, and stem cell-based therapy. During over 15 years of research, I have had the opportunity to teach and mentor numerous undergraduate and graduate students and supervise several PhD and postdoctoral fellows.
