George F. Rich
Harrison Medical Teaching Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology Professor of Biomedical Engineering
George F. Rich, M.D. is the Harrison Medical Teaching Professor and Chair of Anesthesiology at the University of Virginia.
Brian Helmke researches the relationship between cell mechanics and cell function using new tools in materials science and molecular biology, with a focus on cardiovascular disease. His laboratory employs a multidisciplinary biomedical engineering approach to understand the relationship between intracellular mechanics and cell function.
Kimberly Kelly uses computational methods and bioinformatics to develop more effective and less toxic cancer drugs through the identification of disease-relevant druggable targets, with a special emphasis on translation to the clinic and commercialization.
Melina R. Kibbe, MD, FACS, FAHA
Nationally known in the field of vascular surgery, Melina R. Kibbe, MD, began her five-year appointment as UVA School of Medicine’s Dean and Chief Health Affairs Officer in September 2021. Her lab develops novel therapies for patients with vascular disease while simultaneously studying the mechanism of how these therapies impact the vascular wall.
Kelsey Kubelick leverages light, sound, nanoconstruct design and cellular engineering strategies to develop advanced theranostic imaging platforms. With a special interest in ultrasound and photoacoustics, her lab creates imaging tools that play a critical role in informing, guiding and enhancing therapies across a range of biomedical applications.
Matthew J. Lazzara
Work in the Lazzara Lab employs a combination of experimental and computational methods to study problems in cell signaling, the complex biochemical process cells use to make decisions.
Craig H. Meyer
Randall J. Moorman
Kristen Naegle
Kristen Naegle uses data- and computational-driven approaches to predict, and experimental approaches to test, the regulation and function of tyrosine phosphorylation in complex networks.
Richard J. Price
Dr. Price's research program centers on the development and implementation of image-guided drug and gene delivery systems for treating cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Jeff Saucerman, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, combines computational models and high-throughput experiments to discover molecular networks and drugs that control cardiac remodeling.
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
