Kerri-ann Norton PhD

Dr. Kerri-Ann Norton is an Assistant Professor at Bard College in the USA. She was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. she is part of the Systems Biology Laboratory under the mentorship of Dr. Aleksander Popel, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Molecular Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Her graduate studies were completed at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, in Computational Biology and Molecular Biophysics, where she developed agent-based models of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) progression and developed 3D reconstructions of human DCIS samples.

Dr. Norton's current research is in computational modeling and experimental quantitative flow cytometry to study heterogeneity in breast cancer and its microenvironment, with a particular focus on tumor microvasculature and cell surface receptor composition. She has received several awards for her work such as the American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship and an NIH training grant in Nanotechnology for Cancer Medicine Fellowship. Dr. Norton is a recipient of a 2015 MCS Pappenheimer Travel Award.
