Kyle P. Quinn, PhD Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering Director of the Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center University of Arkansas Email: kpquinn AT uark.edu |
Bio: Dr. Quinn received his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004. He earned his Ph.D. in Bioengineering in 2010 from the University of Pennsylvania under the mentorship of Dr. Beth Winkelstein. He then joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Irene Georgakoudi's group. As a postdoc, he was awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award and an NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99). Since joining the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arkansas, Dr. Quinn has taught Biomechanical Engineering (BMEG 2813) and developed new courses in Advanced Biomedical Microscopy (BMEG 470V/570V) and Biomedical Data and Image Analysis (BMEG 4523/5523). His lab has been continuously funded by NIH and received the NSF CAREER award. In 2021, he established the NIH-funded Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center, which integrates optical imaging, bioenergetics, and data science approaches to solve biomedical research problems involving cell and tissue metabolism. His overall research interests are in developing and utilizing non-invasive quantitative optical methods to characterize the spatiotemporal patterns of disease progression and tissue repair processes.
