Academics

Bio

Dr. Amruta Naik is working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biosciences and Technology, MIT-WPU, Pune. She is a goal-driven researcher and academician with a research experience of around 12 years in the field of Stem Cell Biology and Bone Biology. Dr. Amruta has received Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the University of Pune. Her research interests mainly include invention of new strategies for the application of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the treatment of bone degenerative disorders to get better therapeutic effects. Dr. Amruta has received two research grants from DBT and DST, Govt. of India for perusing research in the field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. During her post-doctoral research work, she was also involved in collaborative research projects that studied the in vitro biocompatibility and osteointegration of scaffolds for bone and cartilage regeneration. She has published 14 research and review articles in peer-reviewed journals of international repute. Currently Dr. Amruta Naik is serving as a Guest Editor for Cancer Reports (Wiley) and JoVE.
