As a 2025 Schmidt Science Fellow, Anusree aims to improve the effectiveness and safety of medical implants used in treating bone and joint disorders. This will enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
Anusree will engineer new coatings for orthopedic implants using advanced materials that can integrate with the human body. These bioactive coatings release oxygen and medications directly at the implant site, aiding the healing process.
When implants are coated with these engineered materials, complications like infections and inflammation could be reduced, leading to faster recovery, better wound healing, and fewer post-surgery issues.
Anusree will pivot from Organic Chemistry to Biomedical Engineering
