Steven Jay

Company: University of Maryland

Job title: Associate Professor

Bio:

Dr. Steven Jay leads a research group in the Fischell Dept. of Bioengineering at the University of Maryland that investigates the therapeutic potential of biopharmaceuticals, with a specific focus on extracellular vesicles from both human and bacterial sources. He initially trained as an undergraduate in biological engineering at the University of Georgia. He then completed his PhD at Yale University, working with Dr. Mark Saltzman, studying biopolymer drug delivery, followed by postdoctoral training with Drs. Richard Lee (Brigham and Women’s Hospital) and Linda Griffith (MIT) focused on protein design and engineering.
