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.
