Micropatterned Janus Biobot design, characterization and in vivo validation for theranostic (therapy+diagnosis) applications.
During my PhD dissertation, I designed nanocluster integrated micropatterned platforms to understand how mammalian and bacterial cells receive and respond to information in their environment. In my post-doctoral work, by utilizing the tools of microcontact printing and cell biology, I studied the influence of geometry and force control on complex cell function (adhesion, chiral alignment and apoptosis). I want to design biohybrid microbots using bacterial cell surface engineering and microfabrication for drug, and gene delivery vectors, smart prosthetics, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
