Andre Levchenko

Andre Levchenko is the John C. Malone Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University, with secondary appointments in the Department of Neurosurgery and affiliations with the Cancer Signaling Networks, Immunology, and the Yale Program in Neurodevelopment and Regeneration. His research focuses on systems biology, signal transduction, and cell-cell communication, utilizing microfluidics and computational modeling to study cancer progression, stem cell behavior, and neurological disorders.

• PhD, Columbia University
• MEng, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology

Levchenko's work explores how cells process dynamic signals to make critical decisions, particularly in glioblastoma migration, organoid development, and cardiovascular tissue engineering. His lab develops innovative microfluidic platforms and mathematical models to dissect multicellular communication and signaling networks.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding YAP-driven cancer invasion, NOTCH signaling in angiogenesis, and metabolic regulation of hypoxia responses. He has pioneered methods for organoid modeling and single-cell analysis, advancing precision in biological signaling studies.
