Palak is a student at Georgia Institute of Technology pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in Biomedical Engineering, minoring in Health and Medical Sciences. She is interested in understanding the relationship between leukemic cells and its microenvironment using biomimetic platforms. The aim of her research is to develop a 3D in vitro model of leukemia (AML and CLL) focusing on culture conditions that support long-term cultures of primary patient samples without exogenous cytokines. This culture system can be used for three potential studies: (i) new drug identifications based on metabolomics, (ii) studying current drug therapies, and (iii) personalization of treatment plans. Her research is performed in the Wallace H. Coulter Biomedical Engineering joint department between Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University in Atlanta.
