Derin Sevenler, PhD is an NIH K99 Investigator at Massachusetts General Hospital (08/2022-) and an Instructor at Harvard Medical School (01/2023-). He received a BS in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering from Cornell University (2008-2011) and his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University (2011-2017). From 2018 to 2022 he was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Mehmet Toner at MGH.
Dr. Sevenler's research program at the Center for Engineering in Medicine & Surgery is focused on discovering new ways to measure and control biological systems at the nanoscale, and applying those discoveries to a range of clinical applications in molecular diagnostics, therapeutics, and disease prevention. His expertise is in microfluidics, molecular diagnostics, biomaterials, and nano-optics. A major thrust of his current work is investigating ways to improve the safety, efficiency, and accessibility of therapeutic gene editing, which could have significant clinical impacts across cancer therapy, global health, regenerative medicine, autoimmune disease, and metabolic disorders.
