OverviewAI-generated summary
Ishita Tandon's research focuses on developing multiscale in vitro and in vivo models to study the early detection and monitoring of calcific aortic valve disease. Her work investigates the pathological behavior of valve interstitial cells and explores label-free techniques, such as multiphoton microscopy, for disease assessment. She has a strong publication record, with 13 peer-reviewed articles and a book chapter, and has presented her findings at over 20 conferences.
Tandon has received significant recognition for her work, including the American Heart Association Predoctoral Fellowship and the University of Arkansas Doctoral Academy Fellowship. She has also held leadership roles, serving as finance chair for the Graduate Society of Women Engineers and as co-founder and president of the Biomedical Engineering Department Graduate Students’ Organization. Her career aspirations include pursuing translational biomedical research in academia and supporting women in their educational and leadership development.
