Tonia Tsinman
Graduate Student in Bioengineering
University of Pennsylvania
Hometown
Chelmsford, MA
Education
B.S. Bioengineering, 2013, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Areas of Special Interest
Tonia's research interests include native and pathologic tissue heterogeneity, its effects on the local mechanics of tissues, and the development of ways to mimic these heterogeneities in tissue engineered constructs . Outside of the lab, she likes exploring Philly, taking dance classes, reading, hiking, and cocktail making.
