Jean Lewis,
Associate Director, Research
Dr. Lewis is an Associate Director of Research at Biological Dynamics, Inc., where her team is developing exosome-based liquid biopsy assays using a proprietary platform. Her work has shown the potential utility of EV-protein biomarkers in non-invasive diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, infection, and cancer. Recently, her research has been directed towards identifying EV biomarkers for early-stage cancer liquid biopsy. Dr. Lewis obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. She started as an NIH National Research Service Award postdoctoral fellow at the Scripps Research Institute, where she conducted research in cancer cell metastasis and was later awarded both an NCI Independent Research Award and a Pardee Cancer Foundation grant. In a subsequent appointment at the UC San Diego Nanoengineering Department, she focused on developing EV-based immunoassays for cancer diagnostics.
