I am Jarin Tusnim. I am from Bangladesh, I have developed a passion for science and engineering from a young age. After excelling in academics throughout high school. During my undergraduate studies, I became fascinated by the interface between engineering and medicine, especially the development of new technologies to improve human health. So, I decided to pursue my interests further through doctoral studies. Currently I am a PhD student in biomedical engineering in a joint program of NJIT and Rutgers University. As a PhD candidate under the mentorship of Dr. Grasman, I am focused on advancing research around peripheral nerve injury and repair. My dissertation project centers on fabricating hollow channel collagen gel models to mimic the peripheral nerve environment, testing optimize extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and screening potential drugs for repair. Through my PhD work, I aim to make meaningful contributions to the tissue engineering field while also serving as a role model for young engineers from my home country.
