About

dancer, gym enthusiast, and food lover

I am a PhD candidate developing advanced biofabricated tissue models that integrate biomaterials, microfluidics, and tissue engineering strategies. My research focuses on engineering physiologically relevant in vitro platforms, with a particular emphasis on vascularized skin models supported by controlled perfusion and dynamic microenvironments for biomedical and translational applications.

I have a background in Biotechnology Engineering and Applied Health Sciences, with experience in 3D cell culture, multicellular tumor spheroids, biomaterials, and cancer modelling. My research interests lie in biofabrication, organ-on-chip systems, tissue engineering, and next-generation in vitro models aimed at bridging the gap between conventional cell culture and human physiology.

Outside the lab, I enjoy exploring new places, dancing, staying active at the gym, and discovering diverse cuisines.
