Welcome to my blog!

I am motivated by the creative mindset and innovation that drives bioengineers to invent new ways of improving human health. At Yale, biomedical engineers are developing biomaterials for use in detecting inflammatory signals which have potential applications in an array of diseases such as diabetes and arthritis. My undergraduate education and research experience in tissue engineering helped me to explore different application of tissue engineering. I am particularly interested in Dr. Anjelica Gonzalez’s work in developing biomaterials. By undertaking additional tissue engineering training in the graduate program, I am well prepared to enter this emerging field with a nuanced understanding of cellular biology, physical engineering, and global health.

In my future blogs, I’m planning on incorporating tools that I learned in the Biomaterials class to discuss their application in tissue engineering and drug delivery for the endovascular system.
