Jan Lammerding, PhD (he/him/his)

Professor
Cornell University
Ithaca, New York, United States

Jan Lammerding is a Professor in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering and the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology at Cornell University. He received his Diplom Ingenieur degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Technology (RWTH) in Aachen, Germany, and completed his Ph.D. in Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studying subcellular biomechanics and mechanotransduction. Dr. Lammerding served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women’s Hospital before moving to Cornell University in 2011. The research in the Lammerding Laboratory is focused on ‘nuclear mechanobiology’, investigating how the mechanical properties of the nucleus modulate cellular functions, and how physical forces acting on the nucleus affect its structure and processes. The multidisciplinary research approach combines the development of novel experimental assays with cell and molecular biology techniques and in vivo models. Dr. Lammerding has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, including in Nature, Science, and PNAS. Dr. Lammerding is a Fellow of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). His research is supported by awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation, and the Volkswagen Foundation. More information on the research in the Lammerding lab is available at: http://lammerding.wicmb.cornell.edu/.
