Dr. Steve Conolly, Associate Professor of Bioengineering, received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, where he has been a researcher for the past twenty years. Working in biomedical imaging, especially Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Dr. Conolly holds 15 patents and is the recipient of Stanford’s Outstanding Inventor award. Steve can be contacted at sconolly@berkeley.edu, or in room 475 Evans.
Dr. Irina Conboy, Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, also comes to us from Stanford. Dr. Conboy’s research focuses on understanding the molecules that regulate the behavior of adult stem cells, including aging and regeneration. She received her Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Immunology from Stanford University, where she was recently an instructor of neurology and neurological sciences. Irina will be running the the “From Stem Cells to Organs: Challenges of Bioengineering” seminar series this Spring, and can be contacted in room 479 Evans or at iconboy@berkeley.edu.
Our most recent addition, Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammad Mofrad, was most recently a research scientist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Biological Engineering Division at MIT. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto, and has also conducted research at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Some of Dr. Mofrad’s research interests are mechanobiology of arterial disease; cell mechanics and mechanotransduction; molecular mechanics of proteins; bio-fluid/solid mechanics and transport; quantitative aspects of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Mohammad can be found in 483 Evans, or at mofrad@berkeley.edu.
