Engineering the Future of Biomaterials

Dr. Nasim Nosoudi is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Wright State University, where she leads research at the intersection of biomaterials, mechanobiology, and regenerative medicine. Her research focuses on understanding how physical and mechanical cues influence cells and using this knowledge to engineer innovative biomaterials and therapeutic strategies. Her current research interests include live-cell electrospinning and electrospraying, mechanobiology, cardiovascular nanomedicine, and wearable technologies for injury prediction.

Dr. Nosoudi received her Ph.D. in Bioengineering from Clemson University, where her doctoral research focused on targeted nanotherapeutic approaches for abdominal aortic aneurysm. She also holds an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology and a B.S. in Materials Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology. Her interdisciplinary background in materials science, biomedical engineering, and cardiovascular research has shaped her approach to developing engineering solutions for complex biological problems.

Her laboratory combines engineering, materials science, cell biology, and biomechanics to investigate how cells respond to physical forces and how engineered materials can guide tissue regeneration. A major focus of her current work is electrospraying and electrospinning of living cells, including understanding the mechanisms through which electrospraying can influence stem-cell differentiation. Her research has also led to the development of new technologies for biomimetic scaffold fabrication, including a hybrid 3D printing–electrospinning platform and nano-scale cellulose fiber fabrication approaches.

Dr. Nosoudi has secured major competitive research funding, including an NSF CAREER Award, NSF Major Research Instrumentation awards, and a DURIP award, supporting research and advanced instrumentation for multidisciplinary engineering research. She has authored more than 40 journal publications and has been recognized with awards including the NSF CAREER Award and an Excellence in Advising Award.

At the Nosoudi Lab, students from different backgrounds work together on interdisciplinary problems that connect engineering principles with real biological and medical challenges. Dr. Nosoudi is passionate about mentoring students and providing opportunities for them to develop as researchers, engineers, and independent thinkers.
