Rohan Fernandes, PhD

Biography

Rohan Fernandes' research in biofabrication builds synthetic micro- and nanostructures for delivering therapeutics to precise locations within the body using modalities for targeting markers expressed at the treatment site. The constructs simultaneously facilitate ldquopaintingrdquo tumor margins so surgeons can precisely see where tumor tissue begins and ends. Dr. Fernandes' constructs are relevant in cases where a surgeon cannot easily operate, as in brain stem gliomas, to deliver treatments in a minimally invasive manner. 

Dr. Fernandes joins Childrenr's National from Johns Hopkins University, where he completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He received his bachelorrsquos degree in Chemical Engineering from the Mumbai University Institute of Chemical Technology, a masterrsquos degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and his doctorate in Bioengineering from the University of Maryland, College Park.
