Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering

Dr. Wang receive her Ph.D. in biomedical Engineering from the University of California at Davis, where she studied the inflammatory basis of dietary lipids using in vitro vascular mimetic models. She pursued her postdoctoral training with Michael Shuler and Harold Craighead at Cornell University, where she developed microphysiological systems for modeling human blood-brain barrier (BBB) and colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Her paper on the BBB model won the Biotechnology & Bioengineering Gade Award as the best paper of the year. She was also an HHMI fellowship recipient. Dr. Wang joined the department of biomedical engineering at Binghamton University as an Assistant Profession in Fall 2019.

Courses: 

BME213 Biomolecular Engineering; BME303 Biofluid Mechanics; BME432 Ethics in Engineering; BME484/584 AI in BME.

Postdoctoral Associate

Md. Daud H. Khan

Dr. Md. Daud Hossain Khan completed his PhD in Bioengineering from George Mason University. During this time, he was involved in several collaborative projects, traversing different areas of cancer research. These include hypoxia studies, cancer molecular biology and developing point-of-care, microfluidic-based devices for cancer. This has resulted in multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at prestigious conferences. Before his postdoc at Binghamton University, he has served as an Assistant Professor at Independent University Bangladesh.
