Kenyatta S. Washington, PhD
Post Doc Fellow, Connecticut Convergence Institute for Translation in Regenerative Medicine @ UConn Health
About
As a Post Doc Fellow in the CT Convergence Institute, my responsibility is to contribute research efforts towards the grand challenge to regenerate complex tissue and organ systems calls for a paradigm shift that requires a transdisciplinary approach. The Connecticut Convergence Institute has defined regenerative engineering as a new field that convergences advanced materials sciences, stem cell sciences, physics, developmental biology, and clinical translation to foster scientific innovation. My duties will incorporate my background in Tissue Engineering and Material Science for a complex tissue approach towards regeneration.
