Jessica earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in May 2021. She was awarded a NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells on tissue engineering constructs in altered gravity environments during her doctoral studies. The focus of her research has been bone tissue, biomaterials, in vitro cell cultures and cell response to altered gravity environments. Jessica joined the Skin & BioSubstrates team at TRI Princeton as a post-doctoral fellow in June 2022. Here at TRI, she is applying her skill set to contribute to the field of skin and hair research and to the development of new applications.
