Project Co-manager. Dora Obodo is a Senior studying Bioengineering at George Mason. Her fields of interest are Nanotechnology, chemistry, and material science. Currently, Dora works in the lab of Nanotechnology where she aids in the synthesis, characterization, and analysis of novel patchy polymeric nanoparticles and their applications as a dual therapeutic and imaging modality for cancer theranostics. She hopes to one day attend pharmacy school and combine all of her knowledge to help develop the biomedical industry in her home country of Ghana and all of West Africa. In her free time, Dora likes to volunteer her time in advocating for victims of HIV/AIDS and helping to reduce stigma around this issue in the DC Metro Area. She is also an avid reader; her favorite authors include J.K. Rowling, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. In the project, she is currently a member of the imaging division for her team.

Lani is a senior completing her final semester in Bioengineering at George Mason University. She currently works under Dr. Qi Wei as an undergraduate research assistant in the Biomechanics Lab, building computational models of the female pelvic floor muscles from medical images. She hopes that her models can successfully be used to simulate natural childbirth, so that pelvic floor dysfunction can be predicted among pregnant women. After graduation, she plans to stay in the area and work for a company where she can apply her education and experience in bioengineering to ultimately contribute to technological advancements that will improve the quality of life.
