Dr. Alexandra S. Piotrowski-Daspit is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on engineering polymeric nanoparticles for nucleic acid delivery to the lungs, utilizing combinatorial polymer vehicle libraries and high-throughput in vivo screening tools. She employs three-dimensional cell culture models to recapitulate disease physiology, aiming to elucidate the structure-function relationships that govern the interactions of nanomedicines with biological barriers at various levels, including organism, tissue, and cell levels. Ultimately, her work aspires to contribute to the rational design of delivery vehicles targeting specific diseases, aiding in the clinical translation of therapeutics. Her technology-driven approach initially focuses on treatments for hereditary diseases, particularly cystic fibrosis. Dr. Piotrowski-Daspit holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Yale University, a master’s degree in Chemical Biological Engineering from Princeton University, and a bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
