Meghan Griffin

I am currently a biomedical engineering PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, where I study cardiac tissue engineering. My research applies 3D bioprinting techniques to create engineered tissues that mimic the native structure and function of cardiac tissue. I also serve at the Vice President of Community Outreach for the Graduate Women in Biomedical Engineering student organization. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, cooking, horseback riding, and spending time with my cats.
