Assistant Professor
Rice University
HOUSTON, United States
erzy Szablowski is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and a core member of Neuroengineering Initiative at Rice University where he leads the Laboratory for Noninvasive Neuroengineering. He received his B.Sc. in Biological Engineering from MIT in 2009. Throughout the studies he worked on engineering protein contrast agents for MRI in collaboration with Alan Jasanoff’s, Robert Langer, Frances Arnold’s research groups, and on developing light activated receptors in Ed Boyden’s synthetic neurobiology group. He received his Ph.D. in Bioengineering at Caltech, while working with Peter Dervan in 2015 on programmable therapeutics for modulating gene expression in animal models of cancer. During postdoctoral fellowship in Shapiro Laboratory at Caltech, he developed Acoustically Targeted Chemogenetics (ATAC) the first method enabling noninvasive neuromodulation with simultaneous spatial, cell-type, molecular, and temporal precision. In his laboratory he aims to accelerate the development of therapies for brain disorders by using molecular technologies for noninvasive control and monitoring of the brain. He is a recipient of a number of awards, including the Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering, DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA), NIH NIBIB Trailblazer, NARSAD Young Investigator, NIH Director’s New Innovator award (DP2), and others.
