Thomas J. DePalma

Thomas J. DePalma's work focuses on engineering 3D biological tissue models, including neural networks derived from stem cells, with applications relevant to studying cancer and drug delivery. His research combines biomaterials, 3D printing, and cell biology to build lab-based models that mimic human tissue behavior. This kind of work is often used to better understand diseases like glioma (a type of brain tumor) and to test how nanoparticle-based drugs interact with cells.

Publication output has grown from occasional single papers earlier in the decade to a steadier pace of 1-4 papers per year in recent years, suggesting a gradually expanding and active research program.
