Associate Professor
Dr. Kothapalli earned Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from Andhra University, India, and Master's degrees in Chemical Engineering and Materials Sciences from Mississippi State University and University of Connecticut, respectively. He received his PhD in Bioengineering from Clemson University in May 2008. His Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Biological Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was focused on developing microfluidic assays to evaluate neurite responses to growth factor gradients in vitro, investigation of axonal targeting of projection neurons (e.g., cortico-spinal motor neurons) in three dimensional cultures, and identification of the role of microenvironment on embryonic stem cell differentiation, for wide-ranging applications in cell transplantation therapies. His postdoctoral work at CUNY on glioblastoma cell migration and proliferation in 3D milieu is funded by the "Emergent Behaviors of Integrated Cellular Systems" grant by NSF at CUNY.
Dr. Kothapalli joined CSU in August 2011, and was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor in August 2016. So far, Chandra's research has resulted in two issued patents (one licensed to industry), more than 50 peer-reviewed publications in reputed journals and conference proceedings, and 100 conference and seminar presentations. Among his honors, he was a Presidential Scholar at the Medical University of South Carolina and received multiple Faculty Merit awards at CSU.
