Faculty and Staff Directory

Senior Co-op Coordinator & Assistant Director, 

Assistant Professor, 

Wang laboratory integrates synthetic biology, tissue engineering, and microfluidics to investigate the design principles underlying cell state transitions, establish human physiological and pathological models using hiPSCs, and develop next-generation therapeutics for previously intractable diseases.

Professor, 

Cellular and molecular mechanobiology, mechanomedicine, and mechanohealth; cancer cell biology and mechanics; stem cell biology and mechanics; mechanomemory and mechanoresilience, mechanobiotechnologies and their applications to cells, tissues, and organisms

Professor, 

Our group investigates biomolecules at the single-molecule level. We develop nanopore-based and other nanotechnology-based methods for probing the structure and dynamic behavior of biomolecules. We employ optical waveguides and single-molecule enzymatic approaches for RNA sequencing, and utilize engineered nanopore sensors for applications in single-molecule proteomics. We are experimentalists, but we also use advanced computational tools to perform big data analysis.

Professor, 

Natural product biochemistry, plant abiotic and biotic interactions, carbon sequestration, agricultural biotechnology, food allergy, drug discovery

Affiliated Faculty, 

dynamics of large-scale molecular machines, working to identify the physical principles that guide biomolecular dynamics, using molecular simulation approaches to interpret experimental data from a wide range of techniques, including biochemical, small-angle X-ray scattering and cryogenic electron microscopy

Affiliated Faculty, 

single molecule biophysics, molecular biophysics

Professor and Chairperson, 

Mechanobiology of neural systems; Systems for nerve regeneration; Diversity and equity in engineering

Postdoctoral Research Associate, 

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
