Ellen L. Kan (she/her/hers)

PhD Candidate
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, United States

Ellen Kan is a PhD student and NSF Graduate Research Fellow in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT. Her research, co-supervised by Linda Griffith and Roger Kamm, involves engineering in vitro microfluidic models for investigating the role of vascularization in inflammatory disease states, including endometriosis lesions and type 2 diabetes. Outside of the lab, Ellen is also passionate about teaching and science communication; she strongly believes that the success of translational science is grounded in not just innovative research, but also intentional efforts to make our science digestible and compelling for diverse audiences. Prior to MIT, Ellen received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University.
