Research and Special Interests: During the last few years, I have been investigating the feasibility for a biohybrid dialyzer that combines biological functions with a conventional hemofilter to provide filtration, reabsorption, metabolic and endocrine activity. The main goals of this investigation have been: a) to reduce the cost associated with conventional dialysis; b) to decrease the amount of water that is used and discarded with each procedure; c) to facilitate the development of portable and home devices; d) to more closely mimic the metabolic activity of a normal kidney; and e) to increase patients’ freedom and improve their quality of life.
Area of Expertise: Biomedical Engineer experienced in product development, project management, device chemical integration, contamination control, and failure analysis. Analytical Chemist and Material Science Engineer with 20 years of industry experience in the areas of reliability testing, advanced metrology, and surface characterization techniques.
Years of Expertise: 16-20
