Professor Delphine Gourdon is a Principal Investigator in the Mechanobiology Tribology Group within the Division of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Glasgow. She joined the university in 2020 after serving as an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Ottawa, Canada from 2016, and as an Assistant Professor in the Materials Engineering Department at Cornell University, New York, USA from 2009. With over 65 publications in leading international journals, Professor Gourdon has secured numerous national and international grants, including the prestigious NSF-CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation in 2014 and the CFI-JELF grant in 2017 from the Canada Foundation for Innovation. She is also a recipient of the Wolfson Research Merit Award from the Royal Society in the UK. Her research integrates engineering, physics, and materials science with a focus on mechanobiology and tribology, particularly in the design of advanced biomaterials and biointerfaces for breast cancer research. Her lab employs innovative techniques to create 3D protein platforms that mimic tumorous microenvironments and seeks to explore alternative materials for prosthetic implants.
