Mithun Sinha, Ph.D.

Presentation: Breast Implant Biofilm Mediated Immune Response

 

Biography:

 

Dr. Sinha currently serves as Assistant Professor of Surgery at Indiana University School of
Medicine. He received his doctoral degree in Biotechnology from University of Calcutta, India.
Prior to joining Indiana University, Dr. Sinha did his post-doctoral training at The Ohio State
University, Columbus, Ohio. His laboratory is investigating immunological manifestations
mediated by implant-associated bacterial biofilm. The research focuses on breast and
orthopedic implants. He collaborates with surgeons in the division of plastic surgery, department
of orthopedic surgery, Indiana University school of medicine and community plastic surgeons to
address this problem. His laboratory is primarily funded through grants from NIH/NIAID. He has
more than 30 peer reviewed publications.
