Anirban Sen Gupta

Dr. Anirban Sen Gupta is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). Dr. Sen Gupta is the inventor of the SynthoPlate technology, co-founder of Haima Therapeutics and serves as their Chief Scientific Advisor. In these capacities, Dr. Sen Gupta provides scientific and technical consultation in the company’s R&D efforts, and also facilitates technology translation and commercialization partnerships with the DoD and NIH. He has dual Bachelor’s degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and a Master’s and PhD degrees, both in Chemical Engineering. Dr. Sen Gupta has 15+ years of research experience and expertise in developing novel nanomedicine systems inspired by design cues from blood cells, for therapeutic applications. His research has focused especially on understanding and leveraging blood platelet’s multi-faceted roles: heteromultivalent ligand-receptor interactions among themselves and various matrix proteins, soluble proteins and other cells; platelet secretome in physiological and pathological processes; and platelet’s biophysical (shape, size, stiffness etc.) attributes that influence their dynamic behavior in blood flow. Dr. Sen Gupta’s research is funded by American Heart Association, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and the US Department of Defense. In various aspects of therapeutic development and biomedical technologies, Dr. Sen Gupta has active collaborations with Case School of Medicine, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, the Cleveland VA Hospital, University of Pittsburgh, Harvard University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, University of Colorado Denver, and US Army Institute of Surgical Research. Dr. Sen Gupta holds several patents in nanotechnology and nanomedicine areas. He is also an established educator and provides curricular and mentoring contributions both within the university as well as within several academic societies including Biomedical Engineering Society and Society for Biomaterials.
