Neha Kamat
Neha Kamat received a BS in Bioengineering from Rice University and a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania under the direction of Prof. Daniel Hammer. After her postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. Jack Szostak at Harvard University/ Massachusetts General Hospital, she joined the faculty of Northwestern University, where she is currently an Assistant Professor in the Biomedical Engineering Department. The Kamat Lab's interests lie in constructing minimal systems, or artificial cells, as a tool to understand and recreate certain cellular behaviors. They use emerging engineering methods in material science and synthetic biology to construct in vitro models of cellular membranes to be used for fundamental studies on membrane mechanobiology and for the design of new therapeutic tools. Neha is the recipient of a Young Investigator Award from the Air Force Research Office, an NSF CAREER Award, and the ACS Synthetic Biology Young Innovator Award.
