Dr. Abhishek Jain directs the Bioinspired Translational Microsystems (BioinSyst) lab that creates the next-generation microphysiological systems or organ-on-chips, particularly that include modeling single vessels (blood and lymphatic), vascular networks, blood and its constituents, and tumor microenvironment. Through extensive collaborations across the Texas Medical Center, his lab advances the fundamental understanding and drug discovery of sickle cell disease, vein thrombosis, ovarian cancer, lymphedema and COVID-19. His research is founded on a strong culture of interdisciplinary collaboration, teamwork, and mentoring. Dr. Jain has won numerous awards, including the NSF CAREER Award, NIBIB Trailblazer Award, TAMU Dean of Engineering Excellence Award and a TEES Young Faculty Fellow Award. His trainees have won pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowships from NSF, NIH, AHA and IFER, numerous travel grants, and best oral talks and poster presentations in annual meetings.
