Prabhas Moghe, Ph.D.

I am honored to serve as the EVPAA or Chief Academic Officer for Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.  See more details at: https://evpaa.rutgers.edu

As a Bioengineering research investigator, educator and inventor, I established a wide range of collaborations in a number of disease areas (brain, heart/cardiovascular, orthopedic) and pursued basic biological questions (stem cell state determination), where I was focused on the convergence of integrative biology and new technologies.  I also remain passionate about teaching and developing innovative training paradigms for researchers.  As a PI/Co-PI, I have led three NIH R01 projects, one NIH T32 Postdoctoral Training Program on Regenerative Medicine, one P41 project of Resource Center for Polymeric Biomaterials (2003–), NSF NIRT Team Projects, and Coulter Biomedical Engineering Translational Awards, in addition to several additional federal, State, and industrial grants. My leadership of two $7M NSF IGERT programs on Biointerfaces and Stem Cell Science and Engineering nucleated interdisciplinary research and training and global alliances for >50 PhDs and established a diversity infrastructure for expansion of minority education in STEM fields, which was held as a model by the NSF, leading to a President’s Leadership in Diversity Award at Rutgers.
