Department Directory

Senior Co-op Coordinator & Assistant Director, 

Postdoctoral Research Associate, 

Assistant Professor, 

Synthetic biology and microfluidic systems for disease modeling, regenerative medicine and therapeutic development

Professor, 

Mechanobiology and mechanomedicine investigating mechanomemory in cancer and stem cell systems

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, 

Plant biochemistry, 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,

Mechanobiology of neural systems; Systems for nerve regeneration; Inclusive workforce development

Postdoctoral Research Associate, 

Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, 

mechanisms of bodily injury and pain – especially injuries from sports, automobile accidents, and/or degenerative diseases

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

Assistant Professor, 

Metabolic engineering and synthetic biology for sustainable biochemical production and human health
