Sparkle Russell-Puleri 

Engineer and research scientist with 7 years of experience working in academic and corporate research environments, as well as manufacturing. My research involved utilizing Chemical Engineering, Cellular Bioengineering and Molecular Biology theory and techniques to study the effects of fluid mechanical forces on vascular cells. This interdisciplinary research is fundamental to understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating vascular cell activation. Identifying these molecular mechanisms can lead to the development of novel therapeutics that can limit the progression of cardiovascular related diseases.
