Soham Ghosh is an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering with joint appointments in the School of Biomedical Engineering and the Cell and Molecular Biology program. His work lies at the intersection of physics and biology and in bioengineering.

Ghosh’s lab explores aging in tissues, cell-based therapies, drug resistance in cancer cells and the physiological changes experienced by astronauts in space. His key works include research on deformation microscopy for intracellular mapping of mechanics to investigate mechanobiology and high-throughput quantification of heterogeneity in stem cell populations which has therapeutic implications.

Ghosh holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with a bioengineering concentration from Purdue University and conducted postdoctoral research in molecular biology at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award.
