Durham, North Carolina, United States
Juhi Samal is a postdoctoral researcher at the Segura Lab (https://seguralab.duke.edu/) in the department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. Her research focusses on the development of biomaterial-based interventions for central nervous system (CNS) disorders with a special focus on tissue glycosylation in the CNS. Her research interests are exploring the modulation of tissue glycosylation in acute and chronic CNS disorders and developing biomaterial therapies to tune the glycan signature towards a pro-regenerative response. She is recipient of numerous awards, including the Regeneration Next Initiative postdoctoral fellowship, CBTE Postdoctoral Achievement Award at Duke University, Julia Polak Award European Doctorate Award, DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) Fellowship, and she has received several awards for research dissemination and excellence at different conferences, at both national and international levels.
