Dr. Dewey's lab aims to combine biomaterials with extracellular vesicles for skeletal repair and disease treatment, including broader impacts in marine biology.
Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering
2326 Engineering II
Uses a combination of fluid mechanics and soft matter physics to develop new microfluidic tools and study how fluid-structure interactions control biological and bio-inspired microflows.
Program coordinator for Biological Engineering and its training programs. Responsible for program administration and student coordination for the NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program in Data Driven Biology and the NIH T32 training grant in Quantitative Mechanobiology.
Focuses on molecular engineering of proteins that control spatial organization in biological systems, with applications in plastic remediation and oral vaccine delivery.
Duggan Professor and Distinguished Professor Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
4130-I Biology II
Studies cell behaviors such as recovery from the brink of apoptotic cell death, cell cannibalism, collective cell migration, and establishment of new connections after migration.
Assistant Professor Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
1113 Life Sciences
Uses high resolution live imaging, synthetic biology and biochemistry to figure out when and where signaling molecules are activated to make these essential decisions.
Assistant Professor Bioengineering Chemical Engineering
3349 ENGR II
Engineers molecular reporters for noninvasively imaging living systems in previously impossible ways - for example, spying on neural activity with brain-wide coverage in vertebrates and locating deep-seated infections and tumors in vivo.
Assistant Professor Materials Department
3019 Materials Research Lab
Works at the intersection of materials science, physics, chemistry, and biology, and aims to understand interfacial phenomena and energy-dissipation at the interfaces of soft materials.
Director, DDB Program Chair, Bioengineering Professor of BioE, ME and BMSE
3108 BioE
Mechanobiology metrologies integrating quantitative imaging, biophysical, and biomolecular assays to probe the role of mechanics in cell signaling in health and disease.
Professor Materials Department
3006 Bioengineering
Studies molecular biophysics, particularly by building and applying high-resolution single-molecule manipulation instruments capable of mechanical and elastic measurement of biopolymer and motor protein behavior.
Assistant Professor Bioengineering Mechanical Engineering
BioE 3112
Develops 3D hydrogel cell culture platforms to mimic mechanical, structural, and compositional elements of native extracellular matrices and uses these to investigate how cells sense and respond to their environment.
Associate Professor Bioengineering Electrical and Computer Engineering Mechanical Engineering Media Arts and Technology
2213 Elings Hall
Studies the future of interactive technologies, haptics, robotics, human-computer interaction, sensorimotor augmentation, and interaction in virtual reality.
Professor Bioengineering Biomolecular Science and Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering
Focuses on the development and application of innovative new computational, artificial intelligence, and data science tools to bridge information between the atomic and cellular scales, covering more than six orders of magnitude from Ångstroms to tens of microns
Professor Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology
4107 Life Science Building
We study evolutionary biology using comparative genomic and epigenomic methods. A main research thrust of the Yi lab is evolutionary epigenomics. We ask how epigenetic regulatory mechanisms evolve and how they contribute to fundamental biological phenomena.
