John Eberth

Dr. John F. Eberth is an Associate Professor at Drexel University's School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems. As a cardiovascular engineer with expertise in mechanical controls, continuum biomechanics, and hydrogel-based extracellular matrix mimetics, he leads the Applied Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Lab (ABML) to investigate vascular behavior under mechanical stimuli.

• PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A&M University (2008)
• MS in Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University (2004)
• BS in Mechanical Engineering from Clarkson University (2001)

His research focuses on vascular pathology and mechanobiology, including:

• Aortopathy and aneurysm mechanics
• Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffening
• Hydrogel-based vascular grafts
• Calcification chelation therapy
• Coronary artery disease
• Perfusion tissue culture

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in vascular imaging techniques, mechanical modeling, and therapeutic interventions. Key themes include drug-coated balloon development, collagen fiber mechanics, and bioreactor systems for vascular conditioning.
