Vivek Bajpai

I am a trained Physician with PhD in Chemical Engineering and have received multidisciplinary training in diverse fields. In my doctoral research, I developed robust technologies of stem cell differentiation and cellular reprogramming for cardiovascular and neural tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. My current research combines genome engineering, cell biology and molecular biology and biophysics tools to investigate extracellular vesicle (i.e., endo-lysosomal and related organelles) biogenesis in order to understand how organelle level perturbations influence stem cell, tissue and organismal pathophysiology with the aim to engineer novel therapeutics.
