Pankaj Karande,
Associate Professor, Chemical and Biological Engineering,
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
Prof. Karande joined the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department at Rensselaer in 2008. Before joining Rensselaer, Prof. Karande was a postdoctoral scholar in the Chemical Engineering Department and Center for Cancer Research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He obtained his Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara in 2006 where his thesis work focused on the use of chemical enhancers for transdermal drug delivery. Prof. Karande has received numerous awards for his research including The Edison Award for best Product in Science and Medicine (2009), The Anna Fuller Fellowship in Molecular Oncology (2006-2007), Outstanding Pharmaceutical Paper by the Controlled Release Society (2005) and the Fionna Goodchild Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Mentoring (2004). Prof. Karande is an inventor on several patents in the area of Transdermal Formulation Discovery and Novel High Throughput Screening Platforms. He has served as scientific advisor to fqubed Inc., (now part of Nuvo research) and currently serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of CureBiotech Inc. His current research interests include 3D Biofabrication of organs and tissues, drug delivery formulations, and bioseparations.

Dermal microvasculature not only promotes graft survival by supplying the tissue with oxygen and nutrients, but is also known to modulate inflammation and immune cell migration to the wound site. Vascularization of skin grafts is critical for successful skin engraftment. Here, using a 3D bioprinting platform, we show successful integration of a vascularized bed in a 3D printed full-thickness human skin model. We show the influence of different cell populations (fibroblasts, endothelial cells and pericytes) in controlling the formation of vasculature in vitro, and the successful integration of vascularized grafts in vivo.
