Dr. Douglas A. Lauffenburger is Ford Professor of Bioengineering and (founding) Head of the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT. His major research interests are in cell engineering: the fusion of engineering with molecular cell biology, with central focus on systems biology approaches to complex pathophysiology in application to drug discovery and development.
The Symposium will also feature presentations from PhD Candidates Junyi Liu (Haiqing Lin group) and Andrew Kroetsch (Sheldon Park group) starting at 1pm.
