[2] Arinzeh takes part in the American Chemical Society's Project Seeds program, opening up her lab for high school students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds for summer internships.
[11] Her current research focuses on systematic studies of the effect of biomaterial properties on stem cell differentiation.
[8] She is known for discovering that mixing stem cells with scaffolding[note 1][12] allows regeneration of bone growth and the repair of tissue damage.
[13] In 2018, she received an QED award to work on the recovery time and cost patients experience after bone grafting procedures.
[16] In addition, Arinzeh actively tries to increase representation of minority students in biomedical engineering by being a mentor as part of the Project Seeds program supported by the American Chemical Society.
[17] In 2018, Arinzeh was selected to be a Judge for Nature scientific journal's newly created Innovating Science Panel Award.
