Kayla Wolf is an Assistant Professor and Nancy Peter Meinig Family Investigator in Life Sciences at Cornell University. Previously, she was a NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Jennifer Lewis's laboratory at Harvard University, where she developed a stem cell-derived perfusable kidney collecting duct on-chip used in disease modeling and embedded biomanufactured tissue. She holds a Ph.D. in bioengineering from the joint program at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, San Francisco. During her graduate studies, she investigated tumor cell-matrix interactions and their influence on cell invasion, leveraging therapeutic targets. Wolf has received recognition as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Predoctoral Fellow (F31), and Siebel Fellow. Prior to her Ph.D., she earned a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.S. in Human Biology from Michigan State University. Her research interests lie in addressing clinical needs in kidney and women’s reproductive health by developing models of urogenital tract tissues and investigating the biophysical forces that direct tissue function.
