معرفی
Shayanti Mukherjee is an Adjunct Associate Professor (Research) in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Monash University, affiliated with Monash Health. Her work bridges bioengineering and women's health, with a focus on pelvic organ prolapse and regenerative medicine.
- PhD in Bioengineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), 2013
Her research expertise lies at the intersection of biomaterials, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering. She investigates novel strategies for pelvic reconstructive surgery, including 3D bioprinting, nanomaterials, and cellular therapies. Her work aims to improve outcomes in female urogynecological health by developing advanced biomaterials and understanding host responses. She is actively involved in translational research with clinical applications.
Recent publications highlight a strong trend in engineering solutions for pelvic floor disorders. Her work spans from fundamental materials science (e.g., nanocomposite coatings, electrospun scaffolds) to clinical pilot studies (e.g., vaginal pressure sensors). Key themes include foreign body response, stem cell integration, and biomechanical characterization of tissues and implants. Her research is highly collaborative and multidisciplinary.
Dr. Mukherjee leads and co-leads significant research projects funded by organizations such as the Science and Industry Endowment Fund. As a Primary Chief Investigator on multiple grants, she demonstrates leadership in securing research funding. She is actively mentoring students, as she is accepting PhD candidates for projects in nanomaterials and 3D printing.
She is affiliated with research teams focused on women's health innovation, working closely with experts in gynecology, bioengineering, and materials science. Her lab and collaborative network emphasize translational outcomes, aiming to move from bench to bedside in the treatment of pelvic floor disorders.
