معرفی
Jay Humphrey is the John C. Malone Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University. His research focuses on vascular mechanics and mechanobiology, integrating genetic, pharmacological, and computational approaches to understand vascular disease mechanisms and design clinical interventions. He holds affiliations at the 55 Prospect Street campus in New Haven, CT, with administrative roles in academic leadership and editorial boards.
Dr. Humphrey earned a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. His work bridges biomechanics, immunology, and tissue engineering, with a focus on vascular graft design and disease pathophysiology.
His research interests include arterial stiffness in aging/hypertension, aortic aneurysm development, and mechanobiological feedback mechanisms. He has published over 400 papers, with recent work emphasizing mTOR signaling in vascular pathology and computational modeling of immune-mechanical interactions.
