Biography

Dr. Binata Joddar is an Associate Professor in Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University. She earned her Ph.D. from a joint Bioengineering program at Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina. After completing post-doctoral research in cardiovascular biology at Ohio State University, where she received the Distinguished Post-Doctoral Researcher Award, Dr. Joddar advanced her expertise with a Foreign Post-Doctoral Fellowship at RIKEN, Japan, focusing on stem cells and regenerative medicine. Before joining Oregon State University, Dr. Joddar spent 10 years as an assistant and associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP).

Binata Joddar's research spans biomaterials, stem-cell-based tissue engineering, and tissue regeneration. Notable projects include 3D-printed microelectrode arrays for studying neuronal networks in microgravity, bioprinted cardiac models, and advanced tissue engineering techniques. Dr. Joddar has received grants from NIH, NSF, and NASA and holds patents for innovations such as photoreactive collagen-like peptides and electrospun scaffolds for cardiac tissue modeling. She serves as an Associate Editor for Biofabrication and is active in grant and journal review panels for NIH, NSF and the AHA. Passionate about mentoring underrepresented minority students, Dr. Joddar has guided numerous graduate and undergraduate students towards successful careers in STEM fields.
