David Odde

David Odde, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota's College of Science and Engineering. His research investigates the thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanics of cellular molecular components, focusing on functions like migration, division, and polarization.

His work extends to understanding disease mechanisms in brain cancer and Alzheimer's disease, with collaborations at Mayo Clinic and the University of Pennsylvania. He directs the Physical Sciences in Oncology Center (PSOC) and develops computational simulators for cell migration and microtubule-tau protein interactions.

The Odde Lab applies these findings to design therapeutic interventions. No scientific awards or student advisement details are provided in the available text.
