About

Paramesh Karandikar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of bioinspired engineering and gastrointestinal drug delivery. His work draws inspiration from cephalopod biology to develop novel, needle-free jetting devices that can safely and effectively administer biomacromolecule therapies through the gastrointestinal tract. His most-cited paper, "Cephalopod-inspired jetting devices for gastrointestinal drug delivery" (2024, 52 citations), introduces a paradigm-shifting approach that eliminates the need for traditional needle-based injections, which often require specialized training, sharps management, and disposal. This innovation addresses critical challenges in oral biologics delivery, potentially transforming treatments for diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions requiring macromolecule therapeutics. Karandikar’s contributions are notable for merging principles of soft robotics, fluid dynamics, and biomimicry to create ingestible robotic devices that are both effective and patient-friendly. His work has garnered significant attention for its potential to reduce healthcare burdens and improve patient compliance. As a rising figure in bioengineering, Karandikar continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in non-invasive drug delivery, making him a key voice in the future of therapeutic administration.
