About
Kyle Lampe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia, and by courtesy, Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience. He was previously a Ruth L. Kirschstein NIH NRSA postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the department of Materials Science and Engineering. Kyle completed his Ph.D. and B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Colorado, Boulder and the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla, MO), respectively. Currently funded by NIH, NSF, and the Commonwealth Health Research Board, the Lampe Group investigates biomaterials for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery within the central nervous system. We develop materials including synthetic polymers, recombinant engineered proteins, and self-assembling peptides and enjoy collaborating widely throughout engineering, biology, and medicine.
