Anjelica L. Gonzalez is a biomedical engineer, scientist, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering[1] at Yale University, and is part of the Vascular Biology and Therapeutics Program.[2] Her work focuses primarily on biomimetic materials, or the development of materials that mimic human organs, to study how drugs and other medical interventions can reverse tissue damage caused by environmental pollutants, inflammation, and diseases. She is also the principal investigator for the "PremieBreathe" device which has developed a low-cost device designed to save the lives of premature babies in settings that lack safe respiratory devices.
