Dr. Edikan Ogunnaike is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the School of Medicine and a member of the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. She focuses on studying and advancing novel immuno-therapeutic interventions at the physical science-biomaterials-oncology interface. Dr. Ogunnaike is a multidisciplinary researcher as evidenced by work, spanning the disciplines of analytical chemistry and chemosensors, optical and microfluidic sensors, and smart biomaterials and cancer immunology. By better understanding immune-material interactions, she seeks to create physiologic materials both for novel therapeutic delivery systems and innovative methods to isolate and probe normal-abnormal-host tissue interactions in healthy and diseased systems. My clinical interests include brain, breast, and cervix cancer, with emphasis on the role of immune cells in cancer progression in solid tumors.
