Bio
Angela Brown is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Dental Medicine, under the guidance of Drs. Edward Lally and Kathleen Boesze-Battaglia. At the University of Pennsylvania, she applies her background in lipid phase behavior in an interdisciplinary study of a protein toxin produced by an oral bacterium. This work has been funded by an NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellowship and a Pathway to Independence grant and received first place in a national postdoctoral competition sponsored by Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products. After receiving a bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering from Penn State University in 2000, Angela worked in industry for three years. She returned to academia to earn a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Drexel University in 2008, where she studied lipid phase behavior in the Biological Colloids Laboratory with Dr. Steven Wrenn. Her work at Drexel was recognized with the Drexel University College of Engineering Graduate Research Award.
