Akhila Denduluri received her B.Sc. in Bioengineering from the University of California, Riverside (CA, USA). In 2015, she earned her MSE in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD, USA). During her Master’s, she worked on developing and assessing translational viability of nanoparticle-based gene delivery using fat-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for brain tumor therapy. She is a third year PhD student with the Knowles group in the department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. With support from the Gates Cambridge scholarship, she is working on developing novel microfluidic platforms for investigating cellular heterogeneity and electrical interactions in living systems. Currently, she is collaborating with the Malliaras group to design and fabricate porous, conducting cell-friendly biomaterials.
