Postdoctoral Research Associate
Office: Brevard Hall D304
Email: sishraq@olemiss.edu
Dr. Saif Mohammad Ishraq Bari is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He is currently working on the design and fabrication of a novel biodegradable micro-drug delivery platform for patients suffering from treatment resistant depression (TRD). Dr. Ishraq Bari completed his Ph.D.(Micro and Nanoscale Systems Engineering) from Louisiana Tech University, USA in 2021. His prior education includes M.Sc. (Molecular Science and Nanotechnology, 2018) from Louisiana Tech University, USA; and B.Sc. (Mechanical Engineering, 2013) from Islamic University of Technology (IUT), Bangladesh. Ishraq Bari’s research interests and expertise include the design and fabrication of lab-on-a-chip biosensors for various biomedical applications, discover novel drug delivery platforms to treat depression, cancer, neurological disorder, and neurodegenerative diseases, and implement microfluidics in cell co-culture applications. For the extra-curricular part, Dr. Ishraq Bari is a sprots-enthusiast. If you are a soccer fan; especially Real Madrid-fan, do not hesitate to say hello!
