Binata Joddar

Dr. Binata Joddar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University (OSU), within the College of Engineering. She previously held positions at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), including Associate Professor (2020–2024) and Assistant Professor (2014–2020). Her postdoctoral research included cardiovascular biology at The Ohio State University and stem cell studies at RIKEN, Japan.

Dr. Joddar holds a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from Clemson University (2006), an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Jadavpur University (2001), and a B.S. in Pharmaceutical Science from Savitribai Phule Pune University (1999).

Her research focuses on biomaterials, stem-cell-based tissue engineering, and 3D bioprinting applications in cardiovascular disease, neuronal regeneration, and cellular agriculture. She has pioneered projects like 3D-printed microelectrode arrays for microgravity studies and bioprinted cardiac models. Her work aligns with grants from NIH, NSF, and NASA, and she holds patents for photoreactive collagen peptides and electrospun scaffolds.

Dr. Joddar’s research trends emphasize microfluidic platforms, cardiac organoids under microgravity, and diabetes modeling. Her articles reflect advancements in bioprinting technologies, scaffold design, and disease-specific tissue modeling.

• Awards: El Paso Community Foundation Award (2024), TAMEST Protégé (AI/ML), NIH Mentor Award (2020), and multiple fellowships.
• Grants/Advising: Secured NIH/NSF/NASA funding; mentored underrepresented students in STEM.

She leads the Inspired Materials & Stem-Cell Based Tissue Engineering Laboratory (IMSTEL) at OSU, advancing regenerative medicine and sustainable cellular agriculture. Her editorial roles include Associate Editor for Bioprinting and peer review for NIH/NSF/AHA.
