Dr. Joshua Doloff

Biography

Joshua C. Doloff received his B.S.E. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry at Boston University. His doctoral research on genetic engineering of cancer-targeted viral vectors earned him the University Provost's award for technology development. Additionally, he focused on a chemotherapy-induced anti-tumor immune response, which led to him receiving the Frank Belamarich Award for the outstanding doctoral dissertation in his graduating class. Joshua also held a fellowship with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), where he worked in the labs of Robert Langer and Daniel G. Anderson at MIT, striving to understand and prevent immune-mediated rejection of macroscale biomaterial biomedical device implants. His work has contributed to numerous publications and pending patents, supporting the establishment of a new startup. More recently, he has received multiple honors and was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Doctoral Department of Boston University. Presently, he serves as an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, with research interests in Immunoengineering and Regenerative Medicine. He plans to utilize systems and synthetic biology approaches to comprehend complex tissue dynamics and generate improved therapeutic platforms for various applications in autoimmunity, transplantation medicine, ophthalmology, and cancer.
