Alumni
Mikayla graduated from Texas A&M University in 2017 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and concentration in Biomaterials. During her time there, she worked under Dr. Melissa Grunlan to develop surface-modifying additives for silicone to improve safety for blood-contacting devices. Her three years of research gave her experience extending from polymer synthesis and characterization to designing and conducting in vitro protein, serum, and blood studies.
