Eno Ebong

Eno Ebong is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience, Northeastern University. His research focuses on endothelial cell mechanotransduction and the role of the glycocalyx in vascular health/disease. He integrates chemical/biomedical engineering, molecular biology, and in vitro/in vivo experimentation to study cardiovascular function under mechanical stimuli. Key collaborations include vascular pathologists, oncologists, and neuroscientists.

Research Interests:

• Mechanobiology of endothelial glycocalyx
• Vascular dysfunction in atherosclerosis, cancer metastasis, and neurodegeneration
• Fluid-solid mechanical interactions in blood vessels
• Therapeutic targeting of glycocalyx mechanisms
• Nanoparticle delivery systems for vascular diseases

Articles trends highlight:

• Over 15 peer-reviewed publications since 2006
• Focus on glycocalyx structure/function, flow-regulated processes, and nanoparticle applications
• Cross-disciplinary engagement with oncology, neurology, and material science

Awards and Funding: NIH NHLBI, NSF CMMI, and industry partnerships have supported his work. His lab develops novel tools for vascular diagnostics/therapeutics.

Advising & Grants: Offers training in basic/clinical research. Active in securing federal and private grants for mechanobiology investigations. Collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to translate findings into clinical applications.

Labs/Teams: Leads the Ebong Mechanobiology Lab, which collaborates with experts across biomedical engineering, pathology, and neuroscience to advance vascular disease research.
