Mark P. Brynildsen is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Biological Engineering at Princeton University and an affiliated faculty member of the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute. His research primarily focuses on the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance and the development of innovative methodologies to combat infectious diseases. The Brynildsen Research Group employs a combination of experimental and computational techniques in systems biology and synthetic biology to understand the mechanisms behind bacterial persistence and the physiological states that allow bacteria to tolerate antibiotics. Brynildsen's work also explores the defenses bacteria develop against immune attacks and the search for new antimicrobial strategies that do not rely on traditional antibiotics. He has received numerous awards for his contributions to chemical biological engineering, including the Distinguished Service Award from the AIChE Food, Pharmaceutical Bioengineering Division in 2025. He has also been recognized for his mentoring and teaching excellence through several awards from Princeton University and beyond.
