PhD student
Lehigh University
I am Esraa Ismail, a fourth year PhD student in the Bioengineering department at Lehigh University. I'm a highly driven and self-motivated researcher
who is committed to utilizing my skills and experience to contribute to cutting edge research projects aimed at providing high quality health care. My current research focuses on designing molecules with shear-switchable activities and modular structures for a new theranostic strategy to promote the normal function of the circulatory system. Particularly, I work on constructing a nanomaterial-based therapeutic system that mimics the natural shear-responsive function of Von Willebrand Factor, VWF, which is a plasma protein that initiates platelet plug formation in response to vascular damage.
