Biography

Noah Mitchell is an Assistant Professor in the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. He completed his PhD in Physics at the University of Chicago in 2018 and holds a Master’s degree in Physics from the same institution, obtained in 2013. His research interests primarily focus on Biophysics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, and any related disciplines such as Mathematical Models and Tissue Mechanics. His lab investigates collective cell behaviors and the mechanical interactions within mesodermal epithelial tissue layers, which link genes and geometric formations. By combining whole-organ live imaging, genetic perturbations, and computational microscopy with the analytic approaches of soft matter physics, his research enables a dynamic understanding of mechanical processes that sculpt the complex shapes of visceral organs. Mitchell's contributions to the field have been communicated through numerous publications, including significant studies on morphogenesis and tissue dynamics in Drosophila border cell clusters. His lab’s work continues to push the boundaries of understanding in developmental biology through innovative modeling and experimental techniques.
