Profile

Biografie

Aswin Muralidharan is a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Stan Brouns (Department of Bionanoscience). His current research interest lies in interactions of bacteria and bacteriophages and in developing programmable cancer therapeutics. He received prestigious individual grants from KWF, NWO and Delft Health Initiative to pursue development of novel programmable therapeutics which can be activated upon sensing oncogenic mutations in cancer cells.
During his PhD, he studied gene delivery to mammalian cells using pulsed electric fields with Prof. Michiel Kreutzer and Dr. Pouyan Boukany at Delft University of Technology in collaboration with Univerza v Ljubljani and Universiteit Bremen.
Aswin was trained as a chemical engineer, and obtained his master’s degree cum laude in chemical engineering studying cardiovascular flow measurements with advanced imaging and computational techniques under Prof. Sasa Kenjeres (Transport Phenomena Research Group) in collaboration with Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam. He also obtained an additional honours degree in research during his masters degree for studying single molecule biophysics of DNA stretching under the supervision of Dr. Pouyan Boukany.
