Dr. Adebowale received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2021 under the guidance of Professor Ovijit Chaudhuri, and his postdoctoral training at Harvard University with Professor Samir Mitragotri. While at Stanford, Dr. Adebowale received the NSF GRFP, a Stanford Graduate Fellowship, and an NIH F31 grant, and was in the Stanford Sarafan ChEM-H Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program. At Harvard, Dr. Adebowale was awarded an NSF Ascend – MPS postdoctoral fellowship and was an NIH MOSAIC K99/R00 scholar. Dr. Adebowale’s main research areas are biomaterials, mechanobiology, and immunology. He seeks to integrate engineering design principles in cancer immunology to enable rational engineering and prediction of effective, next-generation immune cell therapies. Furthermore, Dr. Adebowale strives to understand how the complex functionality of the immune system arises from mechanical cues and simple biophysical principles. Dr. Adebowale is excited to teach and mentor the next generation of scientists and engineers.
