Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences

Tejal Desai, PhD

Professor

I am a bioengineer focusing on micro and nanofabrication techniques to create new devices for drug and cell delivery as well as biomaterials for cell and tissue regeneration. I am the immediate past chair of seven years of the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences, a joint...

C. Anthony Hunt, PhD

Professor

I am a theoretical systems pharmacologist who develops advanced simulation methods to improve multiscale mechanistic explanations of complex phenomena in the presence and absence of therapeutic interventions.

Francis Szoka, PhD

Professor

I work with the dean as well as the vice dean of academic affairs to develop new avenues for incentivizing faculty success and retention.

During my research career, I applied biophysics, chemistry, and immunology to understand and devise better ways to deliver drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids to...

Rada Savic, PhD

Vice Dean & Professor

I co-lead the School’s plans for developing graduate education programs in the computational and experimental sciences, along with Brian Shoichet, PhD. These programs are geared toward giving the School’s PharmD students greater career opportunities throughout biomedicine.

As a faculty member in...

Nancy Sambol, PharmD

Associate Professor

I focus on the use of models to describe drug disposition and effect in patient populations, and the use of these models to make predictions to improve drug therapy.

Andrej Sali, PhD

Associate Dean and Professor

I am interested in the structure, function, and evolution of proteins and their assemblies.

Shuvo Roy, PhD

Professor

I am a bioengineer working on medical device development to address clinical needs by leveraging my background in MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) along with advances in biomaterials, electronics, and nanotechnology to advance health world-wide.

Deanna Kroetz, PhD

Professor Emeritus

Our lab seeks to understand the molecular basis of interindividual variation in drug response and toxicity. We investigate genetic differences in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and other cancer drug phenotypes and search for new therapeutic approaches targeting ABC transporters.

Ryan Hernandez, PhD

Professor

I am a professor studying patterns of human genetic variation from global populations using large-scale whole genome sequencing data in order to understand genetic susceptibility to disease and drug response.

Su Guo, PhD

Professor

I am interested in how genes regulate brain development and behavior and ultimately impact neuropsychiatric disorders.

As director of the Center for Collaborative Innovation, I lead efforts to increase collaboration between clinical, translational, and discovery science in teaching and research.
