Lindsey Saldin, PhD has a diverse work experience in the field of biomedical research. From 2020 to the present, they have served as the VP Product Engineering at ECM Therapeutics, Inc. Prior to that, they worked at the University of Pittsburgh from 2013 to 2020, where they held multiple roles including Postdoctoral Research Associate and PhD Graduate Student and NIH F31 Research Fellow. During this time, they focused on developing a non-malignant ECM hydrogel for the treatment of esophageal diseases, conducting pre-clinical studies and characterizing its impact on neoplastic esophageal cells.

Lindsey also had a clinical internship at Allegheny Health Network in 2017, where they shadowed gastrointestinal surgeons and fellows and observed esophageal diagnostic testing. In addition, they worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at Berkeley Lab from 2012 to 2013, studying the microenvironmental regulation of dormant metastatic breast cancer cells in the brain perivascular niche. Prior to that, they had an internship as a Microbiology Laboratory Intern at Cerexa in 2012.

Their early research experiences include working as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the University of California, Berkeley from 2010 to 2012, focusing on the environmentally controlled invasion of cancer cells by engineered bacteria. Lindsey designed and constructed plasmids to improve the survival of tumor-killing bacteria in sera.

Overall, Lindsey Saldin, PhD has a strong background in biomedical research, with expertise in developing non-malignant ECM hydrogels for esophageal disease treatment and studying the microenvironmental regulation of cancer cells.

Lindsey Saldin, PhD, completed their education at multiple institutions. In 2005, they attended El Segundo High School, where they completed their secondary education. From 2009 to 2013, they pursued their Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering at UC Berkeley College of Engineering. After completing their undergraduate degree, Lindsey Saldin went on to earn their Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering between 2013 and 2018.
