Biography

Anjelica Gonzalez serves as the Raymond John Wean Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University. Her research focuses on the development of biomimetic materials and the investigation of immunology, inflammation, and fibrosis. She has a dedicated interest in training the next generation of scientists to think in an interdisciplinary way and approach problems from a global perspective. The Gonzalez Lab employs a multidisciplinary approach combining organic chemistry, molecular biology, mathematics, and computational modeling to develop engineered scaffolds that dissect chemo-mechanics and immunological processes. Her work has led to significant advancements in understanding a variety of diseases and disorders, including vascular inflammation, stroke, and schizophrenia. Additionally, her translational research interests have driven the development of new technologies deployed in underserved, low-infrastructure settings around the world, such as PremieBreathe, a low-cost, mobile neonatal respiratory device invented by Gonzalez, which is supported by USAID and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Anjelica has received several awards, including being elected to the AIMBE College of Fellows in 2020 and winning the Biomedical Engineering Society Diversity Award in 2018.
