Bio
Dr. Triya Saha is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, Department of Radiology, specializing in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biomaterials, therapeutic delivery, and translational biomedical engineering. Dr. Saha earned her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and Bioengineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India, where her doctoral research focused on developing clinically relevant bioengineered therapeutic platforms for chronic fatty liver disease. Her research involved the development of 3D bioprinted hepatic patches and sprayable bioadhesive hydrogels for targeted delivery of stem cell-derived exosomes, with a focus on tissue regeneration, immunomodulation, fibrosis reversal, and gut-liver crosstalk. Her expertise includes biomaterial design, 3D bioprinting, hydrogel engineering, exosome-based therapeutics, in vitro and in vivo disease models, and translational regenerative medicine.
