Brian P. Johnson

Dr. Brian P. Johnson is an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, jointly appointed in the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology and the Department of Biomedical Engineering. His interdisciplinary research focuses on designing biomimetic microenvironments to study intercellular signaling in development and disease, particularly using 3D printing and CNC machining for high-throughput cancer models and endocrine disruption studies.

• Ph.D. in Molecular and Environmental Toxicology, University of Wisconsin
• Postdoctoral training in Biomedical Engineering, University of Wisconsin

His work addresses:

• Chemical mixtures disrupting epithelial-mesenchymal signaling in orofacial development
• Mechanisms of cancer treatment resistance via multicellular models
• Computational modeling of thyroid homeostasis perturbations
• Translational strategies for precision disease treatment

Articles highlight trends in microtissue engineering, computational endocrinology, and cancer-immune microenvironment interactions.
