ACADEMIC PROJECTS

3D printing of scaffolds using in-house built 3D printer, University of Bridgeport In progress

• 3D printing of PLA/PEG as scaffold for orthopaedic implant. Preparation of acellular scaffold for blood vessel tissue engineering. January 2015 – June2015 D Y Patil University, Kolhapur, India.

• Prepared biocompatible decellularized scaffold for blood vessel tissue engineering from a xenogeneic source.

• Evaluated scaffold by Immunohistochemistry(IHC) and other staining methods.

• Also tested the mechanical properties of the scaffold in comparison to native blood vessel.

• Developed bioreactor and its assembly for recellularization of the scaffold. Incorporation of Stem cells and nanoparticles for wound healing. January 2014 – June2014 D Y Patil University, Kolhapur, India.

• Studied the potency of adipose derived and bone marrow derived stem cells for wound healing.

• Also studied the antibacterial property of titanium oxide(TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles.

• Thereby, hypothesized that based on significance of nanoparticles and their interaction with stem cells they can be incorporated together for wound healing.
