Announcing our Keynote Speaker
Anjelica Gonzalez, Ph.D.
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Gonzalez will be our keynote speaker for the upcoming conference.
Dr. Gonzalez is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and part of the Vascular Biology and Therapeutics Program at Yale University. Her lab's research focuses on the development of biomaterials for use as investigational tools, particularly for the investigation of immunological responses to inflammatory signals from endogenous and exogenous sources.
The Gonzalez lab combines organic chemistry, molecular biology, mathematics, computational modeling and image analysis to develop and use engineered scaffolds to dissect the chemo-mechanics of immunological processes, specifically those related to microvascular structures. This work has special significance to an array of diseases and disorders, including acute and chronic inflammation and fibrosis.
Dr. Gonzalez’s translational research interests have led to the development of new technologies that are being deployed in underserved and low-infrastructures settings across the world. PremieBreathe, a low-cost, mobile neonatal respiratory device invented by Dr. Gonzalez, has been supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and NCIIA/Venturewell for development and study deployment in Ethiopia.
Within Yale, Dr. Gonzalez has been recognized for her dedication to exceptional teaching, having been awarded the Provost’s Teaching Award, the top prize awarded for teaching across all of Yale University, including Yale College, Yale School of Medicine, School of Management, and Yale Law School. Her efforts in education and public inclusion in science is noted by her opinion pieces published in Science and the New York Times.
