Stephanie Seidlits,
Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering
Stephanie Seidlits joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering as an Associate Professor in 2021. Dr. Seidlits' research seeks to develop multifaceted therapies for the central nervous system that utilize biomaterial platforms to both model and directly alter the pathological microenvironment. She obtained a B.S. in Bioengineering from Rice University and went on to receive both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the University Texas at Austin under the mentorship of Dr. Christine Schmidt and Dr. Jason Shear. Dr. Seidlits then trained as an NIH NRSA post-doctoral fellow in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University under the mentorship of Dr. Lonnie Shea. Dr. Seidlits was honored with an NSF CAREER Award, the 2019 Society for Biomaterials Young Investigator Award, a 2019 Biomedical Engineering Society Young Innovator in Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering, a 2020 Rising Star in Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society and the 2020 UCLA Northrop Grumman Excellence in Teaching Award.
