Keynote Speaker

Dr. Robby D. Bowles  
Assistant Professor in BioEngineering
University of Utah


About Dr. Bowles:
Dr. Bowles went to Cornell in 2005 after receiving his B.S.E. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Cornell in the Bonassar lab, with his research focusing on tissue engineering approaches to treat degenerative disc disease. Since 2011 he has been a postdoctoral associate at Duke University studying biochemical and mechanical contributions to back pain. He has published 7 papers on the topic of therapeutics for spinal disorders and has won multiple awards including Best Poster Award at the World Forum for Spine Research and an F32/Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Postdoctoral Fellowship from the NIH. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Utah.
