Hassan Alkhadrawi

Hassan Alkhadrawi is a graduate student in the Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at West Virginia University. His doctoral project is to monitor vascular injury and inflammatory responses resulting from e-cigarette use. He aims to further study the pathways where e-cigarette triggers cellular behaviors such as forming neutrophils-platelets aggregation and neutrophil extracellular trap in the lungs microvasculature through the manipulation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase and the downstrearm of platelets derived growth factor phosphorylation. 

Hassan received his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from West Virginia University in May 2021. He likes teaching others as much as he likes learning, and his career goal is to become a professor, a goal in which he is currently working toward by pursuing a certificate in university teaching at WVU. After graduate school, he is planning to pursue post graduate school, and eventually to teach college classes.
