Dr. Gregg Duncan
Assistant Professor, Fischell Department of Bioengineering Affiliate Faculty, Biophysics Program Dr. Duncan earned his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering under the guidance of Michael Bevan at Johns Hopkins University. His Ph.D. research focused on developing novel microparticle-based measurements and complementary models of multivalent biomolecular interactions. During his postdoctoral training, he developed nanoparticle-based diagnostic and viral gene therapy approaches for cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the Center for Nanomedicine directed by Justin Hanes. Dr. Duncan was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at the University of Maryland in 2017. Dr. Duncan is the recipient of several honors and awards including the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface and the ORAU Ralph E. Powe Jr. Faculty Enhancement Award. |
