TISSIUM is a fast paced medical device company developing novel biomorphic programmable polymers to disrupt the field of tissue reconstruction.

(2018-2019)

    ▪ Lead engineering and design activities of 3D printed surgical scaffolds and

their respective implantation accessories for peripheral nerve repair.

    ▪ Identified and fine-tuned 3D Printing machine capability for consistent

production of micron-scale parts with proprietary polymer.

    ▪ Designed, produced, and assessed 100s of research batches for pre-

clinical studies.

    ▪ Helped the team grow from 2 to 5 people.

    ▪ Boosted the company expertise on Additive Manufacturing for Innovative Design and Production

(2016-2017)

    ▪ Lead the activities related to the design of accessories to deliver TISSIUM

sealants and adhesives in surgery.

    ▪ Performed pre-clinical studies design, planification, logistics,

execution and reporting to help take high stake corporate decisions.

    ▪ Helped the team grow from 2 to 5 people.

The Karp Laboratory is dedicated to create state-of-the-art therapeutic solutions using advanced biomaterials and devices while taking a highly multidisciplinary approach.

My work was highly focused on the development of medical devices (drug and stem cells delivery) for projects led by Girish Chitnis, PhD.

I responded to clinical needs by developing several proof-of-concept medical devices for surgery and therapeutic agents delivery in collaboration with world-renowned clinicians from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital and the Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass. Eye and Ear.

Projects:

    ▪ Smart Device for Ocular Drug and Cell Therapy Delivery (published in nBME)

    ▪ Medical Gel Applicator for dry nose

    ▪ Medical Device for Thyroid Surgery

    ▪ Medical Device for Eye Anesthesia Surgery

    ▪ Medical Device for Eye Cataract Surgery

My work included understanding clinical needs, rapidly iterating conceptual designs, analytical modeling, CAD design, prototyping and ex-vivo testing. Some of the projects advanced towards pre-clinical testing.
