Nasim Annabi is an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Dr. Nasim Annabi joined the Department of Chemical Engineering as an Assistant Professor in January 2015. Prior to joining the faculty at Northeastern, Dr. Annabi was an Instructor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) at Harvard Medical School (2014). Dr. Annabi joined Harvard-MIT's Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard Medical School as a postdoctoral fellow in 2011. Her research at Harvard involved engineering cardiac and vascular tissues, with a primary focus on the responses of cells and tissues to their microenvironment. During her postdoctoral research, Dr. Annabi developed technologies to engineer novel elastic and light-activated scaffolds for soft tissue repair. Dr. Annabi completed her PhD in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Sydney in 2010. Her doctoral research focused on synthesizing advanced polymer-based biomaterials for tissue engineering applications. Currently, Dr. Annabi has a joint appointment as a part time lecturer at Harvard Medical School.
