About

Reza Ghodssi is a pioneering figure in micro- and nanoscale biomedical systems, with a primary focus on developing advanced microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. His research spans microfluidics, bioMEMS, and drug delivery technologies, where he has made transformative contributions to gastrointestinal (GI) tract interventions. Notably, Ghodssi introduced the first microinjection technology for prolonged, localized drug delivery through the GI mucosal barrier, enabling sustained dosing over 50 times longer than conventional pills. This breakthrough addresses a critical challenge in oral drug administration, where many therapeutics degrade or fail to penetrate mucosal barriers. His work has garnered significant attention, with his most-cited paper accumulating over 2 citations in its first year, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. Beyond this, Ghodssi has pioneered micro-scale anchoring systems for implantable devices, enhancing retention and efficacy in dynamic biological environments. His achievements include numerous patents and leadership roles in MEMS conferences, solidifying his reputation as a visionary engineer. For students and researchers, Ghodssi’s work exemplifies how microtechnology can revolutionize drug delivery, offering hope for more effective treatments of chronic diseases.
