<h1><strong>Dharam Persaud, PhD Student</strong></h1>

<div>

My studies began at FIU during the Spring 2009 semester, and since   then I have experienced many things at FIU and within the department of   Biomedical Engineering (BME). I have created the first Student Advisory   Board within the College of Engineering and the Department of  Biomedical  Engineering (BME-SAB chapter). I have also excelled  academically and  within research, which has enabled me to be awarded a   National  Institute of Health Minority Doctoral Fellowship through the  MBRS RISE  program at FIU.

Pursuing doctoral studies at FIU in BME, has enabled me to further   these experiences. I am very focused on research within the   specialization areas of Biomaterials and Cell &amp; Tissue Engineering.   Currently, I am working with Dr. Norman Munroe and Dr. Anthony McGoron   for my doctoral studies, on a project I have developed involving the  use  of new biomaterials that can be used as endovascular medical  devices  for the treatment of neurovascular aneurysms.
