Mohammad Sotoudeh

Mohammad Sotoudeh, Ph.D. is Principal Bioengineer/Scientist. Dr. Sotoudeh completed his MS degree in bioengineering on 1995 and his Ph.D. in bioengineering on 1998 at University of California San Diego where, under Dr. Shu Chien’s guidance, he designed a new stretch apparatus and studied the effects of physiological and pathophysiological magnitudes of dynamic stretch on activation of signal transduction pathways leading to programmed cell death (apoptosis) in vascular smooth muscle cell. In 1999 he joined Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc. and designed, developed, and validated a novel bioreactor system to grow tissue engineered vascular graft under defined mechanical environment. In 2002 as a project manager he led a team of scientist and associates to develop an injectable ischemic repair device (IRD) to induce angiogenesis in ischemic heart tissue. He also designed and validated a novel bioreactor and an injection systems for the IRDs. In 2003 he worked as a Senior Research Scientist at Biosite, Inc. on microfluidic and engineering aspects of Triage BNP test to improve the perW
