Neal Lojek

Graduate Research Assistant
University of Massachusetts Lowell

Neal is a 3rd year PhD candidate in biomedical engineering at UMass Lowell and a NASA NSTGRO fellow. His interests are in building 3D engineered tissue culture modeling tools for applications in neuroscience. Such tissue culture models will be used in studying human brain physiology and developing countermeasures against radiation induced injury.
