November Meeting: Dr. Seema Nandi on Platelet mimetic strategies

Dr. Seema Nandi,

presented ongoing research from NC State & UNC Chapel Hill

Platelet Mimetic Strategies for the Enhancement of Wound Healing Outcomes

Joint Meeting with ACS (American Chemical Society) 

Dr. Nandi obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, where she began to specialize in the field of tissue engineering and conducted undergraduate research on the role of shear stress in cancer cell intravasation. She received her Ph.D. from the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her doctoral work primarily focused on studying the mechanical processes underlying hemostasis and on developing novel technologies for addressing clinical needs within these fields. She has been extensively involved with the Society for Biomaterials, serving as both the student representative for the Tissue Engineering Special Interest Group within the national chapter and as the President of the NC State chapter of the society. She is now working for a biotech startup company based in the Research Triangle of North Carolina, where she is continuing to develop biomaterials for the treatment of bleeding as a result of traumatic injuries and coagulopathies.
