Neelabh Gupta, a dedicated PhD student, is currently engaged in the research project titled ‘Engineering Anatomically and Biologically Relevant Airway Respiratory Models’. His academic journey includes an undergraduate degree from Nanyang Technological University and a Master’s degree from Imperial College London in materials science and engineering publishing a total of 3 papers outside his curriculum. Moulded by an intrinsic fascination in the vast potential materials in the biomedical field, Neelabh’s doctoral pursuit focuses on developing a sophisticated model capable of simulating airway complexity while integrating essential biological data. His project aims to engineer an anatomically accurate model of the airway passage, creating a prototype of a functional epithelium on a composite of a hydrogel and a 3D printed upper airway construct. Beyond academia, Neelabh finds joy in various sports, actively participates in diverse clubs and societies, and values spending quality time with friends.
