Kaitlin P. McCreery, Ph.D.
I am an engineer, educator, writer, and interdisciplinary scientist based in Burlington, VT. My research is driven by the goal to better understand the cell nucleus, and in particular, how physical forces and biochemical signals are integrated to cue cell fate decisions in development and regenerative medicine. I use a variety of experimental and computational techniques to study cells and tissues, including atomic force microscopy, live dynamic imaging of cell behavior, molecular mechanism investigations, and next generation sequencing. I am particularly experienced in advancing models in biomechanics, data analytics, techniques in spectroscopy and microscopy, quantitative image analysis, materials characterization, and tissue engineering.
I have a fire of curiosity which has resulted in novel research and expertise across disciplines including physics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and cell biology.
When I’m not being a scientist, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains, snowboarding, camping anywhere, or cycling in the countryside.
