Our eighth episode features Dr. Milica Radisic, Professor at the University of Toronto, Canada. She is internationally renowned for shaping a new field of organ-on-a-chip engineering and developing new biomaterials that promote healing and attenuate scarring. She obtained her Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering from McMaster University, and her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT. In this episode we discuss with Dr. Radisic about her journey from being a graduate student at MIT to becoming ...

Ep. 9 Tissue Engineering Career Conversations featuring Dr. Jennifer Levin Carter, Managing Director at Sandbox Industries and Blue Venture Fund

Interested in a biomedical career in academia, entrepreneurship, science communication, or everything in between? The Tissue Engineering Resource Center (TERC), located at Columbia and Tufts Universities, is launching a new series, the “Career Conversations” podcast, which welcomes a new guest each episode to discuss their career choices, day-to-day tasks, and the challenges involved. We will talk to some of the most inspiring leaders in bioengineering and begin to understand the many career options available to early-stage scientists. Our goal in this podcast is to help shed light on a wide range of career trajectories, academic and non-academic, that have emerged from the bioengineering community. The podcast is hosted by early career bioengineers and funded by support from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the NIH (grant number P41EB027062).
