OverviewAI-generated summary

Katherine A. Miranda-Muñoz is a biomedical engineer and research professional specializing in polymeric biomaterials, drug delivery systems, and microneedle technology for both human and veterinary health. Her work integrates engineering design, materials science, and pharmacological evaluation to develop translational biomedical platforms aimed at improving therapeutic outcomes and animal welfare. Dr. Miranda-Muñoz earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Arkansas, where she led a project focused on the design, fabrication, and in vivo evaluation of biodegradable microneedle patches for controlled transdermal delivery of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Her research has resulted in publications in journals such as ACS Nano and PLOS ONE, with additional manuscripts in preparation. She has presented her findings at over ten national conferences and received more than 15 awards and fellowships, including support from NSF I-Corps and the University of Arkansas College of Engineering.
