Assistant Professor
Northwestern University
Neha Kamat is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. The Kamat Lab's interests lie in constructing minimal systems, or artificial cells, as a tool to understand and recreate certain cellular behaviors. They use emerging engineering methods in material science and synthetic biology to construct in vitro models of cellular membranes to be used for fundamental studies on membrane mechanobiology and for the design of new therapeutic tools.
