Jonquil R. Mau, PhD, MS
Commercial Translation Associate
Collaborates with academic teams with an expertise in regenertaive medicine to advance their research innovation toward commercialization.Graduate Research Assistant
Department of Bioengineering
University of Pittsburgh Development of a functional tissue engineering strategy for the repair and regeneration of an injured anterior cruciate ligament.
Education and Experience
Jonquil is a graduate research assistant at the Musculoskeletal Research Center (MSRC) at the University of Pittsburgh. Her dissertation research involved the development of a functional tissue engineering strategy for the repair and regeneration of an injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using a resorbable metallic device in combination with extracellular matrix bioscaffolds. Jonquil has been involved with many initiatives to commercialize the research innovations of the MSRC and has developed an interest in regulatory strategy. Outside of the lab, Jonquil has spent hundreds of hours in service to the Pittsburgh community individually and as the STEM Outreach Coordinator of the graduate chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). In her spare time, she enjoys developing her Swahili language proficiency and training for half marathons.
