Alexander Buffone, PhD is an assistant professor in the department of biomedical engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Professor Buffone received both his B.S. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from SUNY Buffalo. His doctoral research with Dr. Sriram Neelamegham focused on modifying the neutrophil glycocalyx through genetic engineering to alter their migration ability. He was subsequently a postdoctoral fellow in the cellular and molecular biology department at Roswell Park Cancer Institiute, where he worked with Dr. Joseph Lau on controlling animal models of systemic inflammation. His most recent position was as a Research Associate at the University of Pennsylvania in the lab of Dr. Daniel Hammer where his research focused on the identifying both which immune cells can utilize and the underlying mechanisms of upstream migration in the vasculature. He also spent a year as a visiting scholar at the University of California, San Francisco in the lab of Dr. Valerie Weaver where he edited the cancer glycocalyx to tune their migration on and interactions with the extracellular matrix. His research interests include glycobiology, mechanobiology, and genetic engineering with the ultimate goal to to tune cell migration for therapeutic benefit during inflammation and cancer.
