Rina (Irena) Tannenbaum

About

Dr. Rina Tannenbaum received her BSc from Hebrew University in 1974, her MSc from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1978, both in Chemistry, and her PhD (DSc) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in 1982 in Chemical Engineering. She is a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Stony Brook University. Her research focuses on deriving a methodical, comprehensive understanding of the bonding-structure-function relationship in multi-component systems, leading to the development of advanced biomedical, optical, and electronic devices and processes. She is also working to develop bio-based and bio-compatible functional materials derived from renewable resources. Her research interests include soft condensed matter and complex fluids, bio-based functional materials, nanocomposites from renewable resources, biomaterials for bone implants and tissue engineering, bioadhesion and cell biomechanics, nanofluids, bio-nanostructures and hierarchical nanoplatforms for targeted drug delivery, self-assembly of nanostructures, interfacial and surface phenomena, hierarchical materials design, nucleation and growth of nanostructures, as well as the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of nanocomposites, nanostructures for optoelectronic applications, and catalysis. She has authored a book, several book chapters, and more than 150 journal publications in her fields of expertise.

  , which constitutes the characteristic region for aromatic amino acid vibrational modes. After all the papers that satisfied these criteria were collected, the relevant spectra from each paper were extracted, processed, normalized. All data were then plotted without bias in order to decide whether there is a pattern that can shed light on a possible diagnostic classification. Remarkably, we have been able to demonstrate that cancerous breast tissues and cells decidedly exhibit overexpression of…

  Using a specially designed apparatus, which collects simultaneous temperature and X-ray scattering data, we performed in situ measurements of the filament during MatEx 3D printing. The data show that the MatEx 3D printing extrusion process provides sufficient shear to form shish-kebab structures, which initially nucleate at the filament surface and spread into the filament core. Time-resolved measurements show that the kebab component near the surface relaxes after deposition of the second filam…

• Mechanical properties and osteogenic potential of hydroxyapatite-PLGA-collagen biomaterial for bone regeneration

  Journal of Biomaterials Science Polymer Edition · 2016-04-28 · 36 citations

  article

  A bone graft is a complicated structure that provides mechanical support and biological signals that regulate bone growth, reconstruction, and repair. A single-component material is inadequate to provide a suitable combination of structural support and biological stimuli to promote bone regeneration. Multicomponent composite biomaterials lack adequate bonding among the components to prevent phase separation after implantation. We have previously developed a novel multistep polymerization and fab…
