Postdoctoral Research Associate

Ramila Joshi is a postdoctoral researcher at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). She joined NIST in 2019 following her PhD from the University of Akron, Ohio where her research focused on using high-throughput automation platform to micro-engineer the stem cells niche to regulate their neural differentiation. At NIST, she helped design a unique flexible, end-to-end automation system named P-CAMP (Prototype- Cell Assay Measurement Platform), for the development of robust biological assays. She uses this automation platform to conduct full factorial experimental designs and systematically vary the parameters of biological assays. The goal is to ensure measurement confidence for evaluation and validation of widely used biological assays such as cell viability assays, SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays, and off-target nomination assays for gene editing.
