Dr. Brendon Baker

Biography

Brendon Baker is an associate professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. He received his Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Columbia University in 2005 and his PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010. Dr. Baker leads a vibrant research group focused on developing a deeper understanding of how the cellular microenvironment regulates fundamental biological processes such as migration, proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis. His group develops novel biomaterials and in vitro microsystems to study the mechanobiology underlying cell-environment interactions. His prior work has led to crucial insights into disease processes and innovative means to control cell-material interactions for engineering organ replacements and regenerative therapies.
