Janet Zoldan, formerly a research associate and postdoctoral researcher with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has joined The University of Texas at Austin as an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Zoldan focuses on human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a model system to explore key principles underlying tissue formation processes by integrating and applying materials and stem cell bioengineering. Understanding this process and controlling it is critical for treating a broad spectrum of pathological conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, hepatic failure and heart failure, as well as alleviating the current shortage of donor tissue necessary for tissue repair and transplant.
Zoldan has been recognized as a Children's Glaucoma Foundation Fellow, an Aly Kaufmann Fellow, and with a Katz Family Award for Outstanding Excellency.
She received her master's degree and doctorate in materials engineering from Technion–Israel Institute of Technology and her bachelor's degree in chemistry from Hebrew University.
