Faculty & Staff Directory

Associate Professor, 

cell and tissue engineering, quantitative principles of cancer cell biology and developmental biology

Assistant Professor, 

Diseases of the cardiovascular system; effects of cellmediated growth and remodeling processes on tissue and organ mechanics

Associate Professor, 

Systems and synthetic biology of the Brain-Immune-Gut super-system; Interactions among hosts and microbes; Deep learning approaches to interpreting biological data and designing biomedical solutions

University Distinguished Professor, 

Physical modeling of cancer progression, metastasis and interaction with the immune system. Most recent interests include the role of metabolic plasticity in these processes and the co-evolution of the tumor and the adaptive immune system. Other areas include spatial organization of the actin cytoskeleton, the mechanics of collective cell motility, and the analysis of genetic circuits involved in cell fate decisions.

Assistant Professor, 

Synthetic biology, microbiology, biosensor development

Assistant Professor, 

Computational systems biology, an integration of mathematical modeling and bioinformatics for studying gene regulatory networks, single cell genomics, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, coarse-graining, reverse engineering, machine learning, stochasticity and heterogeneity in gene expression

Assistant Professor, 

Using computational methods including Monte Carlo methods, molecular dynamics simulations, and molecular docking calculations to obtain a fundamental understanding of molecular interactions that occur at biological interfaces, such as the pulmonary surfactant system in the lungs

Assistant Professor, 

Pulmonary physiology, biofluids and transport phenomenon, computational biomechanics, magnetic resonance imaging, multi-scale modeling

Associate Professor, 

Single-cell proteomics, Ribosome-mediated translational regulation, quantitative systems biology, mass-spectrometry

University Distinguished Professor, 

Feedback control theory, systems biology, cancer, and biomedicine

Professor, 

Computational modeling of the cardiac myocyte to understand the molecular basis of arrhythmias; machine learning in critical care medicine to identify those patients who require urgent care
