Eno E. Ebong is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering at Northeastern University, serving as Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in Chemical Engineering and Affiliated Faculty in Biology. She directs the Ebong Mechanobiology Laboratory, focusing on endothelial cell glycocalyx structure-function relationships in vascular health and disease. Her research integrates engineering, biology, and nanotechnology to combat atherosclerosis, cancer metastasis, and neurodegeneration.
Education: B.S. Mechanical Engineering (MIT, 1999), M.Eng. and Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2001/2006), postdoctoral training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and CUNY (2007-2012). Joined Northeastern in 2013.
Research interests include mechanotransduction, glycocalyx dynamics, and therapeutic development. Notable achievements include NIH and NSF grants, development of glycocalyx-targeted nanoparticles, and stem education outreach. Awards include the PECASE (2025) and AIMBE Fellowship (2024).
Lab activities combine in vitro models (co-culture systems, flow chambers) with in vivo studies (mouse models) to study glycocalyx-endothelial interactions. Current projects address glycocalyx degradation in disease, nanoparticle delivery systems, and mechanobiology in atherosclerosis.
