• Lead author on scientific manuscripts broadly related to the area of tissue engineering and wound regeneration using novel biomaterials and techniques like genome editing, Cellular Reprograming and stimulation of wound healing using physical and chemical cues. • Involved in management of various projects related to cellular reprogramming and design of polymeric biomaterials for release of functional nucleic acids to achieve mammalian cell reprogramming. • Mentored 11 undergraduate and 4 graduate students on various scientific projects.

What they like about Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
