Kolade Adebowale

Assistant Professor, Bioengineering
Shu Chien - Gene Lay Department of Bioengineering


Cancer immunology; immune cell therapy; biomaterials; mechanotransduction

Adebowale's lab seeks to integrate engineering design principles to cancer immunology to enable rational engineering and prediction of effective, next-generation immune cell therapies. Adebowale strives to understand how the complex functionality of the immune system arises from mechanical cues and simple biophysical principles. He is passionate about educating and training the next generation of engineers from all backgrounds and promoting a culture of inclusive excellence.
