Michael Economo, Hadi Nia, and Alyssa Pierson received Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to advance scientific research in their fields. The researchers receiving the awards are also laying the foundation for the next generation of scientists by using the funding to support students and youth educational programs and to diversify STEM. A respected program that is highly competitive, NSF CAREER awards mark a significant achievement for early-career scientists. [ More ]

Areas of Interest Nia Lab conducts research at the interface of physical sciences, molecular biology, and immunology to answer the key questions in cancer (primary and metastasis) and pulmonary pathologies such as pneumonia, fibrosis, and COPD. We develop and utilize sophisticated models of disease in multiple scales (whole organ to single cell), and in multiple settings (in vivo, ex vivo, in vitro, and in silico). We are particularly interested in mechanobiology and mechano-immunity in the context of cancer metastasis, aging, and pathogen transmission/transport.
