Kevin J. Anderson, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Associate
Integrates biomechanical and genomic approaches towards the analysis of brain tumor heterogeneity and disease evolution.
Dr. Anderson received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. For his thesis research he adapted a multiscale numerical simulation towards the analysis of the initial behavior of circulating tumor cell aggregates interacting with activated endothelium. Previously, he received his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Research HighlightSeptember 30, 2021JAX research team examines how glioma cells handle stress
Gliomas, malignant brain tumors, are considered incurable by current science. What, then, makes them so adaptable and dangerous? A JAX research team featuring Kevin Johnson, Kevin Anderson, and Roel Verhaak use single-cell genetics to examine how gliomas handle stress so well.
