About the speaker:

John is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University with secondary appointments in the Cell Biology Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Departments of the School of Medicine. His lab is composed of a diverse set of engineers and scientists solving health problems by using and developing systems biology tools and technologies to describe and control spatial relationships between cells in tissues.

John completed his postdoctoral training in Garry Nolan’s lab at Stanford University, where he used and developed systems biology tools to analyze spatial relationships among cells in tissues. He obtained his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University with Dr. Jonathan Schneck and Hai-Quan Mao, where he developed magnetic nanoparticles for rare antigen-specific T cells and designed hydrogels for adoptive T cell therapy. John has been recognized by several organizations for his work including receiving: the American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship, NCI Postdoctoral Fellowship, ARCS Scholar, Siebel Scholar, and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
