Dr. Nick Graham

Biography

Nick Graham is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Southern California. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis in 2001 and his Doctorate in Chemical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2007. His research primarily focuses on the use of systems biology approaches to understand and develop novel therapeutic strategies for cancer and other human diseases. He specializes in employing mass spectrometry and quantitative, high-content technologies to generate proteomic and metabolomic data from cancer cell lines, mouse models, and human patient samples. By integrating proteomic, metabolomic, genomic, and phenotypic data, he aims to create data-driven computational models that analyze biological meaning within complex datasets. His work bridges engineering, biology, and statistics, iteratively testing predictive models to discover new biological phenomena and subsequently translating these systems biology findings into clinical applications in collaboration with chemists and physician-scientists.
