Katharina Maisel
Associate Professor of Engineering
Katharina Maisel is an associate professor in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. Her interdisciplinary expertise spans nanotechnology, mucosal and lymphatic immunology, and immunoengineering. Her lab uses in vitro modeling, nanotechnology, and immunoengineering to study and develop treatments for diseases at mucosal surfaces. Specifically, the research focuses on the roles of lymphatics and interstitial tissue in disease pathology and how the stromal compartment can be targeted for novel therapies, providing both fundamental insights and new targets for therapeutic design.
