Dr. Simone Douglas-Green (@DrBlackBoots on Twitter/X and Instagram) is an Assistant Professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, where she has been named a BME Distinguished Faculty Fellow. She received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Miami, Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the joint program at Georgia Tech and Emory University, and postdoctoral training from MIT. Dr. Douglas-Green’s professional and scholarly development as a doctoral trainee and postdoctoral fellow has been supported by a number of awards, including the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Minority Ph.D. (MPHD) Fellowship, NASEM Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship, and Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Enrichment Program (PDEP). The Douglas-Green Lab focuses on developing tools and techniques to study mechanisms of bio-nano interactions and improve fundamental knowledge of how nanoparticles interact with biological environments with an emphasis on understanding person and disease-specific protein coronas. Her goal is to train the next generation of engineers to be “EPIC”- engineering with purpose, inclusivity, and compassion.
