My name is Aria Tarudji, I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Biological System Engineering at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Our lab focuses on nanoparticles, traumatic brain injury, neuro-oncology, and blood-brain barrier permeability. My research focuses on the effect of antioxidant nanoparticles in reducing the secondary injury of traumatic brain injury. I earned my BS in Biochemistry and Chemistry from the University of Washington, Seattle. I am interested in entre- and intrapreneurship, and I would love to learn more about it and how to achieve it.
