Esmaiel Jabbari is Associate Professor at University of South Carolina. He is internationally known for his research in the area of biomimetic bioinspired materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. His research interests include bioinspired materials, skeletal tissue engineering, stem cells and microenvironment, growth factor delivery in regenerative medicine, and engineering the microenvironment of cancer stem cells. Currently he is an Associate Professor of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering and Adjunct Professor of Orthopedic Surgery. He has published extensively in the areas of biomaterials, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. He has 3 books, 10 book chapters, over 80 peer-reviewed publications, 80 refereed proceedings preprints, 30 invited lectures, and >200 presentations at national and International conferences. He received his PhD in Biomaterials at Purdue and his Masters degrees, in chemical engineering and chemistry, and his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering at Virginia Tech.
He was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering AIMBE in 2013. He received the [Berton Rahn] research prize award in Orthopedic Research from the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen AO Foundation in 2012. In 2008 he received the Stephen B. Milam Research Award from the [Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation] for contribution to auto-inductive biomaterials for repair of maxillofacial and cranial tissues. He is the North America Editor of the [Journal of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering] and serves on the Editorial Board of [International Journal of Biomaterials], [International Journal of Biomedical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology], and [Journal of Biochips and Tissue Chips]. He is a member of the Outstanding College Students of America, the New York Academy of Sciences, Who is Who in Engineering Education, and Who's Who in America. He is also a member of honorary engineering society Tau Beta Pi, Chemistry Society Phi Lambda Upsilon, and Research Society Sigma Xi.
