Ambika is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Northeastern University. Her interests include targeted drug delivery, bio-electrostatics, peptide and protein-based nanocarriers, and modeling of bio-transport and biomechanics with a specific focus on degenerative musculoskeletal diseases. She received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with Prof. Alan Grodzinsky and also completed her post-doctoral work focused on developing devices for oral drug delivery to the gastrointestinal tract and investigating disease-related changes in mechanics and permeability of mucosal membranes with Prof. Robert Langer at MIT. Previously, she worked as a medical device engineer on the development and FDA approval of orthopedic and dental implants. She also holds a Masters degree from MIT and an undergraduate degree from the University of Delhi, India. Outside of the lab, Ambika loves to spend time with her one year old new boss, oil paint, play chess, cook and travel to faraway lands!
