Shayn Peirce-Cottler (née McDonald) is an American biomedical engineer who is Professor and Chair of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia. Her research considers the development of computational models and machine learning algorithms to better understand biological systems. She looks to understand how tissues heal after injury and the development of therapies that induce tissue regeneration. She received the Eugene M. Landis Award in 2024.
Early life and education
Peirce-Cottler became interested in biomedical engineering while at high school in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[1] Her father was an environmental engineer at Duke University, and she spent summers in his lab. She was a competitive swimmer,[1] and studied at Johns Hopkins University. She moved to the University of Virginia for graduate studies, where she investigated microvascular remodeling.[1][2]
Research and career
In 2004, Peirce-Cottler joined the faculty at the University of Virginia.[3] Peirce-Cottler combines computational modeling, machine learning and experiments to understand how biological tissue heals after injury.[4] She is particularly interested in the development of strategies to induce tissue regeneration. She studies microvessels, the smallest blood vessels in the body, that deliver oxygen and nutrients. In 2022, she was made Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering.[3][1]
