Tanmay joined BioinSyst in Fall of 2017 as a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering. Prior to joining the lab, he was pursuing his bachelors and masters of technology in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. His research interests include developing patient-specific models of blood vessels to study patient-to-patient variations within different vascular disorders. He has successfully amalgamated next-generation RNA sequencing techniques with patient blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells and organ-chip technology. Tanmay aspires to become an independent researcher while mentoring and leading a team of budding scientists. Apart from academics, he likes singing, listening to music and sketching.

Jim joined BioinSyst in 2019 as a PhD student in BME, after research experience in microfabrication and biomedical device design. Previously, he worked at the FDA while also pursuing M.S. in BME at George Washington University. His research interests lie in designing vascularized microfluidic organ-chips advised by machine and deep learning methods. Jim’s long-term goal is to lead teams that develop translational, xeno-free platforms and tissue-engineered products. He enjoys playing guitar and posting on his dog’s Instagram page when not in the lab.

        

Jason Eades

M.S., Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Louisiana State University, 2021

B.S., Chemical Engineering, Louisiana State University, 2016

Read More

Jason joined BioinSyst in July 2021 after completing a Master’s degree in Biological Engineering at Louisiana State University. Prior to that, he completed undergraduate education in Chemical Engineering and also worked as a Process Engineering Specialist. As a joint PhD student with Dr. Jain and Dr. John Cooke at Houston Methodist, he is creating the Vein-Chip and integrating it with next-gen transcriptomic and proteomic analysis to elucidate the mechanisms by which COVID-19 causes endotheliopathy and thrombosis, and follow-up with the discovery of treatment options. After PhD, Jason plans to continue his career in academic research. Outside the lab, he plays soccer and sand volleyball.
