Sarthak earned his Dual Degree (B.Tech & M.Tech) in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur in 2018, with a specialization in Microfluidics and Nano Patterning. He then pursued his Ph.D. at UMass Amherst, developing advanced microfluidic platforms for protein crystallization and X-ray crystallography. As part of his doctoral work, he also designed microfluidic tools for single-cell RNA sequencing at EPFL. In January 2025, Sarthak joined the Mishra Lab, where he now channels his expertise into developing microfluidic technologies for cell and gene therapy manufacturing. Outside the lab, Sarthak enjoys photography, biking, and swimming; occasionally stringing them together in his attempts at triathlon training. 

Adriana is a PhD student and NSF GRFP fellow in the Health Sciences and Technology (HST) program at Harvard and MIT. She earned her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Utah, where she conducted medical informatics research. During her undergraduate studies, Adriana used machine learning to understand exposure and health outcome relationships, developed an atom tracing module, and performed scRNA-seq analysis for autoimmune diseases. Building on this computational background, she now aims to advance microfluidic devices for tumor cell analysis and cell therapy manufacturing. Beyond her research, she enjoys yoga and biking.

Victor completed his BS in Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he focused on the development and characterization of CT-visible, 3D bioprinted scaffolds that are custom-engineered for cardiac tissue repair. At CEMS and MGH Cancer Center, his work focuses on using CTC isolation technologies to study the response of cancer patients to targeted immunotherapies, as well as supporting the development of new microfluidic technologies for CTC/rare cell isolation from different blood products.

Maheen completed her PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, in 2023 and her Master's in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from KAIST in South Korea. Maheen’s research is centered around the high-throughput isolation and expansion of T cells from leukopaks for improving CAR T manufacturing. When she's not in the lab, Maheen enjoys going for walks and exploring the bakeries and cafés in the city.

I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, integrating principles from microfluidics and electronics to develop low-cost, point-of-care platforms for biomarker detection. I was the recipient of the National Science Foundation, MathWorks, Takeda, and Whitaker Health Sciences Fellowships. At Mishra Lab, I am focused on developing image-processing and computer vision tools for cancer cell isolation and analysis.  

Quinn joined CEMS and MGH Cancer Center in 2023 after receiving his BS in Microbiology from the University of Alabama. Quinn utilizes novel microfluidic technologies to understand how cancer responds to targeted therapies. His undergraduate research work included CRISPR-based bacterial defense systems and the nature of environmental microbial metabolites and their role in neurodegenerative diseases. Outside of the lab, he is an avid runner and cyclist and loves to cook with friends and family.

Remy completed his BS in Biomedical Engineering at the University of South Carolina. Remy has previously worked on organ-on-a-chip devices and electrochemical biosensors. At CEMS and MGH Cancer Center, he will be advancing microfluidic cellular technologies for applications in cancer diagnostics, immunotherapy monitoring, and cell and gene therapy manufacturing. In his free time, Remy enjoys reading, attending orchestral concerts, learning how to cook, and planning vacations he doesn’t intend to go on.
