Academic Projects
“A Microfluidic Culture for Two Populations of Dorsal Root Ganglia for Differential Staining”
• Design and fabrication of a culture system to grow two isolated DRGs.
• Design a system to stain the two DRGs differently.
“Proposal of a chitosan hydrogel skin graft capable of delivering antibiotics and fluids for hydration”
• Design History File was prepared for the proposed skin graft.
“Porous chitosan scaffold containing microspheres loaded with transforming growth factor-β1: Implications for
cartilage tissue engineering”
• Review of paper “Kim SE, Park JH, Cho YW, Chung H, Jeong SY, Lee EB, and Kwon IC. 2003 Porous chitosan
scaffold containing microspheres loaded with transforming growth factor-[beta] 1: implications for cartilage tissue
engineering. Journal of controlled release 91(3):365-374.”
• New therapy was proposed for treatment of cartilage that includes the mesenchymal stems cells can be seeded by
dynamic methods on chitosan-based hydrogels for treatment of cartilage defects. These scaffolds can be loaded with
microspheres loaded with TGF.
“Construction of networks with different neurons and study the effect on spike generat ion.”
• Network of five cells, one artificial and four conductance based neurons, was constructed using Neuron Software.
• Effects of cell properties and type of signal on signal propagation/ spike generation.
“Studying the antimicrobial activit y o f Cestrum diurnum on Bacillus subtilis and iso lat ion o f active
co mponent.”
• The activity of water and methanol extracts of plant was checked on Bacillus subtilis using disc diffusion method.
“Culturing of Stevia rebaudiana and isolation of stevioside.”
• The plant of Stevia rebaudiana is used as an artificial sweetener.
