Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Ishita Tandon's research focuses on developing multiscale in vitro and in vivo models to study calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Her work investigates the early detection and monitoring of this condition. Tandon has developed a three-dimensional valve-on-chip microphysiological system that implicates cell cycle progression, cholesterol metabolism, and protein homeostasis in CAVD progression. She has also explored label-free multiphoton microscopy as a method for CAVD detection and monitoring.
Her research extends to other organ-on-chip models, including a nasal airway-on-chip system designed to evaluate airflow pre-conditioning during epithelial cell maturation. Tandon also studies the effect of mechanical strain on cell differentiation and investigates the local renin-angiotensin system's role in aortic valve cellular function. Her career objective is to pursue translational biomedical research within academia.
Tandon has received the American Heart Association Predoctoral Fellowship and the University of Arkansas Doctoral Academy Fellowship. She has authored 13 peer-reviewed articles and a book chapter, with over 20 conference presentations, including an invited talk. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 9, 33 total publications, and 290 total citations. She leads a research group and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Kartik Balachandran, with whom she shares 11 publications.
