Mark Blenner

Mark Blenner received a BS in Chemical Engineering from Manhattan College, and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University. There, he studied conformational changes in proteins and peptides, with applications in environmental sensing and in vitro toxicity testing. Mark was an NIH NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Medical School and the Immune Disease Institute, working with Dr. Timothy Springer engineering high affinity complexes involved in force sensing during blood clotting. He solved crystal structures of these engineered proteins to help explain how certain bonds...Read more

Leslie Shor

Dr. Shor leads the Engineered Microhabitats research group. Microbes important in nature, in medicine, and in the industry generally live in complex communities and inhabit intricate, micro-structured habitats. The theme of the Engineered Microhabitats research group is to systematically understand the actions and interactions of microbial communities living in complex micro-habitats. This work has direct applications to biofuel production, environmental biotechnology, and medicine.Read more
