Almquist, Benjamin - Imperial College London - Department of Bioengineering

个人简介

Summary Dr. Ben Almquist is a Lecturer (US equivalent: Assistant Professor) in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial. His research takes place at the interface of materials science and biology, with a focus on designing nano-bio interfaces and dynamically manipulating the behavior of cells and tissues for various therapeutic applications. More information can be found on the lab website. Before joining Imperial College, Dr. Almquist obtained his BSc in Materials Science from Michigan Technological University, followed by his MSc and PhD in Materials Science from Stanford University. There he developed a biomimetic approach for integrating inorganic nanostructures with cellular membranes. He then went on to become an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein Postdoctoral Fellow at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, where his research focused on designing self-assembled biomaterials for modulating the healing of chronic wounds. Dr. Almquist's research publications can be found at the tab above, or on Google Scholar.
