Aran Lab

The Aran Lab is a biomedical device lab that focuses on diagnostics and therapeutics at Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, California, directed by Dr. Kiana Aran. Dr. Aran’s research specifically focuses on developing novel bio-microelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS) for research and clinical applications. In particular, she is interested in the integration of multiple engineering disciplines including electrical, mechanical, chemical, and bioengineering to create novel device solutions that address unmet clinical need. Current research topics includes developing engineering solutions to identify age and cancer-related biomarkers, utilizing functionalized material for biosensing applications and lab-on-a-chip (LOC)-based systems, drug delivery and implantable devices to improve delivery of biologics.
