Dr. Geeta Mehta, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Materials Science and Engineering University of Michigan College of Engineering |
Education
B.E. Honors: Chemical Engineering, Panjab University (2001)
M.S.: Chemical Engineering & Material Science, Michigan State University (2004)
Ph.D.: Biomedical Engineering, University of Michigan (2008)
Research Interests
Dr. Mehta uses biomaterials and microtechnology as tools to create engineered cellular microenvironments in order to study biological problems in the areas of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and bone marrow stem cells. Her research strengths are in the areas of cancer microenvironments, stem cell engineering, tissue regeneration, microfluidics, biomechanics, biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. She is building a research group that emphasizes both fundamental as well as applied research, and involves extensive multidisciplinary and interdepartmental collaboration. As an Assistant Professor in Materials Science and Engineering, she plans to leverage these strengths to develop strong collaborations with her colleagues who are working on various facets of materials science, and together make significant contributions in the fields of tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, as well as, drug development and delivery.
