Maxwell Landolina

PhD Student

Biomedical Engineering


Maxwell (Max) Landolina is a graduate student since Fall 2022. He graduated from UCONN in 2022, completing a Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Biomaterials. He performed research during his undergraduate degree on tissue scaffold design optimization using response surface methodology (RSM). His current research with Dr. Chen primarily focuses on the use of a nano-matrix to induce cartilage repair in growth plate injuries and treat osteoarthritis via cell delivery. This research includes both in vivo investigations with rat animal models and the use of In-Space Manufacturing to produce a more effective matrix in a microgravity environment. When not in the lab, he trains boxing and brazilian jiu jitsu, smiths silver jewelry, enjoys the outdoors, and hangs out with his puppy Pip.
