Research Interest: My research focuses on the design and development of 3D porous scaffolds for advanced tissue engineering applications. I am particularly interested in exploring and optimizing biomaterials for scaffold fabrication, ensuring they provide the required structural, mechanical, and biological properties to support tissue regeneration. My work emphasizes comprehensive material characterization, including mechanical testing, porosity assessment, and surface analysis, to ensure the scaffolds mimic the native tissue environment. Additionally, I investigate cell-scaffold interactions, focusing on biocompatibility, cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation studies, to evaluate the potential of these scaffolds in promoting functional tissue growth. Through this multidisciplinary approach, I aim to contribute to the development of innovative solutions for bone and other tissue regeneration.
