Diabetes
Primary Faculty
Ashutosh Chilkoti
Alan L. Kaganov Professor of Biomedical Engineering
Research Interests: Chilkoti's research focuses on biomolecular materials and biointerface science and emphasizes the development of applications that span the range from bioseparations, biosensors, patterned biomaterials, and targeted drug delivery.
Sina Farsiu
Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
Research Interests: Farsiu's research focuses on medical imaging and image processing to improve the overall health and vision outcome of patients with ocular and neurological diseases (e.g., age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, Alzheimer, and ALS) through earlier and personalized therapy.
Michael D Lynch
Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
Research Interests: Dr. Lynch's research focuses on genetically engineering microbes to shut off their growth circuits and turn on new pathways to produce different compounds. By focusing their energy, he seeks to improve production of biofuels, pharmacological molecules and industrial chemicals.
Secondary Faculty
Timothy E Reddy
Assistant Professor of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics
Research Interests: Understanding how genetic variation that alters gene regulation contributes to human traits, including risk for common diseases such as diabetes. The Reddy Lab uses an interdisciplinary combination of high-throughput genomics, computational biology, and traditional molecular biology and genetics...
Research Faculty
Lisa L Satterwhite
Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
Research Interests: Satterwhite studies the genomics and epigenetics of environmental exposures in populations with clear health disparity. Her group identified the first genomic signature for pesticide exposure and is developing simple blood tests to diagnose early stage asymptomatic neurodegenerative disease and...
