Shayanti Mukherjee

Shayanti Mukherjee is the Head of the Translational Tissue Engineering Laboratory at Hudson Institute of Medical Research and Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Monash University. She is the recipient of the prestigious J&J WiSTEM2D Scholar and is an Emerging Leader in the Women’s health theme at Hudson Institute. She completed her PhD at the National University of Singapore where her work contributed to the growing body of nanostructured biomaterials for the repair and regeneration of soft tissue. Currently, her research merges multiple disciplines to understand how chronic pelvic floor disorders manifest after childbirth injury and develop novel cell-based tissue-engineered therapies for pelvic reconstruction to advance maternal urogynaecological health. To this end, Dr Mukherjee has designed novel tissue-engineered surgical constructs using electrospinning, 3D Printing, melt electro-writing, and bioink formulations for stem cell bioprinting.  Her research utilises small and large pre-clinical models to determine host foreign body response to electrospun implants for improving women’s health
