Areas of Special Interest
Roshan Shah joined the group during his third post-graduate year following medical school. He joins a team investigating tissue engineering of the knee meniscus using nanofibrous biodegradable scaffolds. He can be distinguished from others in this lab, and throughout the country's labs, by his daily shirt and tie. He hopes that working at the nanoscale will facilitate smaller numbers on his golf scorecard.
