Drug Delivery: Principles and Engineering

Rachit Agarwal is an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He did his undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India in Biotechnology. Rachit then worked in the field of biomaterial-based drug delivery for his PhD. at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA. His post-doctoral fellowship was in regenerative medicine at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. His scientific interests are in developing biomaterial-based delivery vehicles for the treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases. He is a recipient of the prestigious Ramanujan fellowship, Har-Gobind Khorana Young Biotechnologist award, and DBT/Wellcome Trust India Alliance Intermediate Fellowship. He is also the early career editorial board member for the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A (JBMR-A). Two major areas of interest are in the treatment of Osteoarthritis and using inhalable biomaterials for the prevention and treatment of lung infections to translate science into technologies that can be used in the clinic.
