Dr. Marcolongo received her Ph.D. in Bioenginering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1995 in the area of biomaterials. Prior to joining Drexel University in 1997, she worked at General Electric in the aerospace field and at DePuy DuPont Orthopaedics in the area of polymeric biomaterials. Dr. Marcolongo is interested in orthopaedic biomaterials. Her main research interests are materials suitable for spine applications such as hydrogels for nucleus replacement and injectable bioactive materials for vertebroplasty.
