Biography
Professor Pamela Kreeger pursued her Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biological Engineering, MIT, 2005-2008 and her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Northwestern University, 2005 and her degree in B.S. Chemistry, Valparaiso University, 2000. Her Research Interests includes- Systems biology, cell-cell interactions, ovarian cancer, angiogenesis, macrophages She also has many Awards and Honors- 2017 Vilas Associate 2014 NIH New Innovator 2014 Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Young Innovator 2014 Chemical Communications Emerging Investigator 2013 James G. Woodburne Award for Excellence in Teaching 2013 American Cancer Society Research Scholar The Kreeger lab utilizes systems biology and tissue engineering to analyze cellular behavior in a variety of biological contexts. We utilize an iterative approach, where we develop model culture systems that allow us to study a disease in a controlled environment, use high-throughput experimental methods to gather information about the cellular signaling network and cellular responses, and employ computational models to interpret the data. Ultimately, our models will be utilized to identify new drug targets, match patients to the most effective drugs, and identify methods to direct cellular behavior.
Research Interest
