Biography

Dr. Paul W. Burridge is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. His research focuses on using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to understand the role of the genome in influencing drug efficacy and side effects, particularly in relation to complex disease traits. He is interested in pluripotency, differentiation methods, cardiac regenerative medicine, and direct reprogramming techniques. His lab employs advanced methodologies including whole genome sequencing, automation, high-throughput drug screening, and electrophysiological testing to develop hiPSC models for cancer and to predict drug safety and efficacy. With an academic background that includes a PhD from the University of Nottingham and postdoctoral fellowships at Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University, Dr. Burridge has been actively involved in numerous professional societies and editorial boards, contributing to the field of cardiac safety and regenerative biology.
