Nima Ahmadkhani is a Ph.D. candidate in biomedical and bioengineering at Oregon State University and the University of Oregon. He is researching the critical challenge of preserving organ and tissue scaffolds for long-term use, aiming to improve cryopreservation techniques.Every day, lives are lost due to the inability to store organs long enough for successful transplantation. Additionally, many drugs fail in human trials despite promising animal studies because animal models don't accurately represent human biology.
Nima's research could enable organ banks, ensuring no viable donation is wasted, and transform global transplantation practices. For drug development, it could facilitate the widespread use of human-representative microphysiological systems, reducing reliance on animal testing and improving the success rate of new treatments.
This presentation was given at the Graduate Research Showcase on April 3, 2025, at Oregon State University.
