معرفی
Jan Lammerding is a Professor at Cornell University's Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering and the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology. His research focuses on nuclear mechanobiology, investigating how mechanical forces affect nuclear structure and function in cancer metastasis and muscular dystrophies. He has developed microfluidic platforms to study nuclear deformation and holds fellowships from BMES, AIMBE, and ASCB.
- Education: Diplom Ingenieur (RWTH Aachen), B.E. (Dartmouth), Ph.D. (MIT)
- Leadership: Director of Graduate Studies (2011-2024), Associate Director of Meinig School (2024-)
Research spans nuclear envelope rupture in cancer cells, mechanotransduction pathways, and Ledercq Foundation-funded projects on laminopathies.
His lab has produced 15+ articles (2023-2025) covering topics like microtubule-induced nuclear damage, 3D hydrogel migration, and mechanical stress epigenetic effects. Awards include Keith Porter Medal, NSF CAREER, and Cornell Teaching Excellence honors.
