Donny Hanjaya-Putra, PhD (he/him/his)

Assistant Professor
Univeristy of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana, United States

Donny Hanjaya-Putra is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering Graduate and member of the Harper Cancer Research Institute Program at the University of Notre Dame. He earned his Bachelor degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in 2007. He completed his PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering under the mentorship of Dr. Sharon Gerecht at the Johns Hopkins University. His postdoctoral research training was conducted with Dr. Elliot L. Chaikof at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard Medical School.

His research focuses on the study of thrombosis and hemostasis, stem cell engineering, vascular and lymphatic morphogenesis, as well as synthesis of bio-inspired materials and tissue-engineered constructs. In the context of cancer research, his lab is interested to understand what governs the formation of blood and lymphatic vessels from stem cells, how these processes are affected by the tumor microenvironment, and how these insights can be used to develop novel therapies.

He has received numerous awards, including NIH Maximizing Investigator’s Research Award (MIRA) R35, NSF CAREER Award, Career Development Award from American Heart Association, CMBE Young Innovator Award, and Siebel Scholar Award. Research projects in his lab are currently being supported by both federal and private funding agencies, including Indiana CTSI, NSF, NIH, ACS, Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) / BioFab USA, and American Heart Association.
