    About This Team Member

    Douglas Mullen received a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering from Duke University in 2005. At Duke he was a Pratt Undergraduate Research Fellow and a member of the Center for Biologically Inspired Materials and Material Systems. He began his graduate career in the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Program at the University of Michigan in 2005 and became a member of the Banaszak Holl research group and the Michigan Nanotechnology Institute for Medicine and Biological Sciences. In 2007 Doug received a Master's of Science in Engineering from the University of Michigan's Program in Macromolecular Science and Engineering and in 2009 he completed the MBA Essentials and Entrepreneurship Program at Michigan's Ross School of Business. He completed the Doctoral Program in the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Program in 2010.   His thesis work involved the development of targeted chemotherapeutic agents. He has received several awards including the Raymond C. Gaugler Award in Materials Science and Engineering at Duke, the Rackham Regents Fellowship at the University of Michigan, an award for Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research from the American Chemical Society, and the National Starch and Chemical Award from the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Program at the University of Michigan.  A review article describing much of Doug's graduate research was published as the cover article in Account of Chemical Research.

    Doug spent a year as a Medical Innovation fellow at the University of Michigan's medical school.  He is currently working at MNIMBS as our technology translation specialist.  In this role, he is working on translating a number of exciting new MNIMBS discoveries to commercial practice.
