We are delighted to announce our new Advisory Board member – Amy E. Herr!
Amy E. Herr is the Lester John & Lynne Dewar Lloyd Distinguished Professor of Bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley and a Chan Zuckerberg (CZ) Biohub Investigator. Prior to joining UC Berkeley, she was a staff member at Sandia National Laboratories (Livermore, CA), earned Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University, and completed her B.S. in Engineering and Applied Science with honors from the California Institute of Technology. Her research has been recognized by the NIH New Innovator Award, NSF CAREER Award, Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship (Chemistry), and DARPA Young Faculty Award. Professor Herr has chaired the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Physics & Chemistry of Microfluidics. She is an elected Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), an entrepreneur, and was recently elected to the US National Academy of Inventors. Her research program lies at the intersection of engineering design, analytical chemistry, and targeted proteomics – with a recent focus on cytometry spanning fundamental biological to clinical questions.
