About
Sangeena Salam is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of microfluidics, model organism biology, and drug discovery. Her primary research focus is on leveraging the nematode *Caenorhabditis elegans* as a platform to study human diseases and identify novel therapeutic targets. Her most-cited work, a 2017 chapter on "Microfluidic Systems to Study the Biology of Human Diseases and Identify Potential Therapeutic Targets in *Caenorhabditis elegans*," provides a comprehensive review of high-throughput screening (HTS) methodologies. This contribution synthesizes the state-of-the-art in using microfluidic technologies to automate and scale drug discovery in *C. elegans*, a powerful model for genetic and pharmacological studies. With 4 citations, this work has helped establish a framework for researchers seeking to combine the physiological relevance of whole-organism screening with the precision of microfluidic control. Salam’s expertise in bridging engineering and biology positions her as a key contributor to the development of more efficient, animal-based platforms for identifying potential therapeutics, making her work particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in translational bioengineering and nematode-based drug discovery.
