Jerzy Szablowski is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and a member of Neuroengineering Initiative at Rice University where he leads the Laboratory for Noninvasive Neuroengineering and focuses on developing technologies for noninvasive diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders. He has received his BSc in Biological Engineering from MIT and worked on engineering protein contrast agents for MRI in collaboration with Alan Jasanoff’s, Robert Langer, Frances Arnold’s research groups. He then received his PhD in Bioengineering from Caltech in Peter Dervan’s laboratory for his work on small-molecule programmable therapeutics for modulating gene expression in vivo. During his postdoctoral fellowship he developed Acoustically Targeted Chemogenetics (ATAC) for noninvasive neuromodulation in the Shapiro laboratory at Caltech. He was a recipient of several awards, including the NARSAD Young Investigator award, the Synthetic Standard Prize from the International Genetic Engineering competition, and the BE-BMES prize for excellence in biomedical research.
