Craig H. Meyer, Ph.D.

Clint Miller

Clint Miller studies the genetic and environmental risk factors for coronary artery disease and other complex cardiovascular diseases using a combination of large-scale multi-omics profiling and genetic and drug perturbations. He is an Assistant Professor in Public Health Sciences and a resident member of the Center for Public Health Genomics.
Kristen Naegle, Ph.D.

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.
Shayn Peirce-Cottler, Ph.D.

Shayn Peirce-Cottler develops computational models and combines them with wet lab experiments and machine learning to study how tissues heal after injury and to develop new therapies for inducing tissue regeneration.
Ammasi Periasamy

Dr. Periasamy is a global authority in advanced microscopy, specializing in molecular imaging in living cells and tissues. He designs optical methods to study protein interactions, monitor cancer cell/tissue parameters, and pioneered fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) development.
UVA Engineering is a vibrant, collegial environment in which to work and teach.
