Scholar-generated biography
Andre Levchenko is the John C. Malone Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Director of the Yale Systems Biology Institute. His research focuses on systems biology, biomedical engineering, signal transduction, biological networks, and cell-cell communication. His work explores how signaling pathways, such as the IκB-NF-κB module, regulate gene expression and cellular responses. He investigates the role of nanoscale cues in cardiac tissue engineering and the impact of matrix topography on cell function. Levchenko also examines mechanobiology, gradient sensing, and cancer metastasis through computational and experimental approaches. His research integrates systems-level analysis with biophysical modeling to understand complex biological processes.
