Getting Started at Georgia Tech!
August, 2015
Dr. Wood joined Georgia Tech as an Assistant Professor in August 2015. Prior to his current appointment, he was a postodctoral fellow at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. There he used systems biology to elucidate novel signaling mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease and intestinal inflammation. Dr. Wood received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he developed and used a microfluidic platform to identify dominant mechanisms governing vascular geometry during early vascular growth.
