Kiana Aran, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and MedicineDr. Aran is a distinguished tech developer specializing in bioelectronic systems tailored for multiomics, precision medicine, and technologies for healthy aging and a pioneer in integration of CRISPR technology with modern electronics to enhance genotyping accuracy and ensure gene editing quality control. Dr. Aran joined our department as an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Medicine in 2023.
Fanny Chapelin, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and RadiologyDr. Chapelin develops non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging techniques to visualize cellular therapies and inflammation in cancer and other immune disorders. These imaging probes and methods will help clinical translation of therapeutic candidates by determination of best treatment option, dosing, schedule, and delivery route. Dr. Chapelin joined our department as an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and Radiology in 2023.
Erika Cyphert, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering Joining July 2024Dr. Cyphert's research focuses on studying associations between the composition of the gut microbiome and bone. Dr. Cyperht will join our department as an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering in July 2024.

Francisco Contijoch, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and RadiologyContijoch’s primary research interests are focused on developing translational imaging techniques to better diagnose, monitor, and understand cardiac dysfunction and vascular disease.
Kevin King, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate Professor of BioengineeringKing develops therapeutics to target new cellular and molecular mechanisms in cardiovascular disease and immunology revealed by single cell and spatial multiomics. Building digital health solutions that improve inpatient and outpatient care using sensor-enabled remote patient monitoring and predictive analytics.
Ester Kwon, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of BioengineeringThe Kwon Lab engineers tools, diagnostics, and treatments for disorders that affect the brain. They build nanosensors that respond to disease-associated activity of the protease calpain in traumatic brain injury to image calpain activity in the living brain.
