For those that aren’t familiar with the work of Sasha Bakhru, this article will educate you on this important figure in the fields of science and medicine. Bakhru is one of the leading researchers in the use of stem cells today. This is significant because stem cell research is completely changing the medical field. There are many important medical treatments that are now able to be implemented, due to the use of stem cells.
Many medical researchers, including Sasha Bakhru, believe that stem cell therapy is going to completely change and transform the way that many diseases are treated. Stem cell therapy is offering hope to millions of people that had none before. Stem cell therapy can be used in many different treatments and procedures including bone marrow transplants, various types of cancer, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries and muscle injuries. Sasha Bakhru’s study of stem cells in rats is contributing to the healing of millions of people worldwide.
He is currently working on some exciting projects. In one of the projects, he’s designing polymeric hydrogel-based scaffolds for ex vivo neaural stem cell expansion. In the past, he accomplished a very important project in which he designed a microcapsule-based platform that can detect biochemical and topographical cues on growth and diversity.
Bakhru’s research will be published soon and no doubt, his contributions to the field of both science and medicine will never be forgotten. His research spans various topics including polymer-based drug delivery systems, micro-total analysis systems, and micro fluids, as well as microelectromechanical systems.
