Jude M. Phillip

Jude M. Phillip, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. His research integrates engineering principles with aging and cancer biology to develop cell-based biomarkers and mechanistic insights into age-related diseases. He leads the Phillip tiME Lab, which focuses on aging dynamics, tumor microenvironment interactions, and translational technologies.

Education:

• PhD, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, 2015
• Postdoctoral Research, Melnick/Cerchietti Labs, Weill Cornell Medicine, 2016-2020
• B.Eng, Chemical Engineering, City College of New York, 2010

Research Interests:
Dr. Phillip’s work spans aging mechanisms, cancer biology, and mechanobiology. Key areas include:

• Cell-based biomarkers for aging and disease
• Scale-dependent aging pathways
• Lymphoma tumor-immune microenvironment (tiME)
• Single-cell profiling of senescence subtypes
• ECM mechanoregulation of stem cell fate

His lab employs longitudinal cell profiling, data science, and clinical measures to bridge biological aging research with translational medicine.

Recent Highlights:

• 2025: NIH R35 MIRA Award for lymphoma microenvironment research
• 2024: Johns Hopkins Catalyst Award for aging biomarker studies
• 2023: AFAR-Glenn Foundation Award for senescence subtype classification

Lab & Collaborations:
The Phillip Lab collaborates with the Institute for NanoBioTechnology and maintains a living patient-derived tumor biorepository for lymphoma studies. Current projects include ovarian aging organoid models and immune-mechanical interactions in cancer progression.
