Studying and Targeting Cancer Immunomechanics on Earth and in Space

Presented By: Meenal Datta, PhD
Assistant Professor, University of Notre Dame; Bioengineering Graduate Program; Materials Science and Engineering Program; Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering; Department
of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (concurrent)

 

Meenal Datta’s research focuses on deciphering the atypical tumor microenvironment that drives disease progression and treatment resistance in incurable cancers. By understanding and overcoming the biological, chemical, electrical, and mechanical abnormalities found in solid tumors, new therapeutic approaches can be discovered. Dr. Datta also researches health science in space (e.g., in microgravity environments) to benefit patients on Earth.

She also holds a concurrent position in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
