Principal Investigator

Aniruddh sarkar, ph.d.

Aniruddh Sarkar is an Assistant Professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University where he leads the Micro/Nano Bioelectronics Lab. He was earlier a Research Fellow at the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard with research affiliations at Harvard Medical School and at MIT. His research has evolved around the theme of exploiting unique physical phenomena that occur at the micrometer to nanometer length scales to develop devices and systems for solving various technological problems with a special focus on applications in biology and medicine. His earlier work, with Prof. Galit Alter (MGH/HMS) and Prof. Jongyoon Han (MIT), involved the development and application of microfabricated and nanofabricated devices to further the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. He received his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in Biology at MIT, developing microfluidic tools for single-cell analysis. He received his bachelors and masters degrees, both in Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay.

Postdoctoral Fellow

Pedro Marçal, PH.D.

I am Pedro Marçal, a pharmacist with a PhD in Immunology and Genetics. Currently, I am affiliated with the Micronanobio laboratory as a post-doc fellow. My research area mainly focuses on exploring mechanisms and identifying immunological biomarkers. My goal is to apply this knowledge in the development of diagnostic tests and vaccines, with a special emphasis on neglected tropical diseases.
I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to research in these vital areas of medicine. If you are interested in establishing a connection or collaboration, please feel free to contact me via email at pedrohfmarcal@gmail.com or connect with me on LinkedIn using the link www.linkedin.com/in/pedro-henrique-ferreira-marçal-8871992a.
Thank you, and I look forward to the chance to share knowledge and ideas with you.

Sarah Ali

Hi fellow scientists and engineers! I’m Sarah. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Biomedical Engineering. I completed my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at Florida Institute of Technology. My research involves the development of immunoassays for point-of-care detection of infectious diseases using a microelectronic diagnostic platform. When I’m not in lab, I enjoy trying new recipes in the kitchen and reading mystery novels. Feel free to reach out to me to learn more about our lab.

Yuvraj Rallapalli

What do a tennis player, avid reader and gamer have in common? Other than being the beginning of a bad joke, it's somehow a love for biology and an eye for detail. In case you don't find me in the lab, I'm either driving cross-country or shopping. I'm also pursuing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering as a hobby. Don't get tilted, GG.
