Melina Mathur
Bio-X Bioengineering Graduate Fellows 2010
Understanding the intricacies of cellular metabolism and physiological processes can lead to the development of novel molecular systems that will improve people’s health. Specifically, Melina would like to construct biosensors that will collect temporal and spatial data in a given cellular environment. Such data could then be used to engineer biological counters that trigger specified responses. She is also keen on studying proteins and utilizing protein engineering to design specific ligand-receptor interactions. She believes molecular and cellular engineering will serve as an ideal platform to understand human processes and rationally design therapies to treat human disease. |
