معرفی
Dr. Dylan McCreedy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University, where he leads the McCreedy Lab. He joined the department in 2019, focusing on inflammation and neuroprotection in spinal cord injury (SCI). His research integrates genetic/pharmacological methods with advanced imaging techniques to study immune cell behavior and tissue repair.
Educational Background:
- B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering, University of Utah (2008)
- Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis (2013)
- Postdoctoral Fellowships: University of Michigan/Northwestern University and University of California-San Francisco
Research Interests: Dr. McCreedy’s lab investigates early inflammation’s role in SCI, particularly neutrophil dynamics and L-selectin signaling. They develop 3D imaging tools like tissue clearing and lightsheet microscopy to visualize injury pathology. Recent work emphasizes sex-dependent mechanisms in recovery and novel neuroprotective strategies.
Publications Trends: His 2025 publications highlight breakthroughs in DNase treatments, sex-based immune responses, and L-selectin’s regulatory role. Earlier work includes imaging innovations and cell transplantation studies, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to SCI repair.
Grants & Collaborations: His lab’s funding analysis paper (2025) critiques federal SCI research allocation, suggesting policy reforms. Collaborations span neurotrauma societies (NNS, SFN) and imaging consortia.
Labs & Teams: The McCreedy Lab focuses on translational SCI research, combining engineering and biological insights to advance therapies.
