Translational Predictive Biology Interdisciplinary Hiring Initiative

Join us and be a part of transforming the future.

Predictive biology will revolutionize essentially every aspect of our lives. Our vision is to seamlessly integrate data analytics/artificial intelligence and engineering with biological systems to predict in vivo responses from in vitro systems and transform the way we solve today’s grand challenges in animal and human health.

Translational predictive biology’s influence will be far-reaching and broad and will impact fields such as regenerative medicine, drug development, personalized medicine, biomanufacturing, and environmental biosensing, among others. Note updates at end of page.

To bring this vision to life, NC State University is excited to announce a new highly interdisciplinary and fully-integrated five-faculty hiring initiative with expertise in the areas described below.

Updates

Please note that the Drug Delivery, Organoid Biology, Organ-on-a-Chip, and Organismal Physiology positions have been filled. In August 2023, the Data Analytics position was reopened and the Pharmacogenomics position was refocused to Drug Delivery. For additional information, contact Jorge Piedrahita at japiedra@ncsu.edu
