Biography




Abhay Pandit, PhD, Established Professor of Biomaterials at the National University of Ireland, Galway, is Director of the Centre for Research in Medical Devices (CÚRAM), a multi-disciplinary academic-industry-clinician translational research centre. Prior to joining NUI Galway, Prof Pandit's research at The Kendall Company resulted in a patent and FDA approval for a commercial wound dressing. He has received FDA 510k approval for a hydrophilic wound dressing. He led the Biomaterials Research Group at Surgical Sealants, Inc. where he received IDE approval for a collagen-based vascular sealant. At NUI Galway, Prof Pandit has validated the efficacy of a fibrin scaffold to spatiotemporally deliver multiple biomolecules to reduce inflammation and enhance wound closure in a pre-clinical model of compromised diabetic wound healing. He has also demonstrated the efficacy of a cell seeded collagen scaffold to significantly enhance the percentage wound closure of full thickness cutaneous ulcers. He has published over 225 papers in peer reviewed journals. He is a Fellow of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative International Society and an International Fellow in Biomaterials Science and Engineering.
