Biography
Kyle P. Quinn, PhD, is a Professor at Tufts University and the Director of the Tufts Advanced Microscopic Imaging Center (TAMIC). His overall research interests are in developing and utilizing quantitative optical methods to characterize the spatiotemporal patterns of disease progression and tissue repair. Dr. Quinn received his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004, and earned his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010. As a postdoctoral fellow at Tufts University from 2010-2015, he was awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award and Pathway to Independence Award from the NIH. He then joined the faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arkansas in 2015. He received the NSF CAREER award in 2018, and his laboratory has been continuously funded by the NIH for projects using label-free multiphoton microscopy to study skin wound healing and aging. In 2021, he founded the Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center (AIMRC), an NIH-designated Center of Biomedical Research Excellence. Under his directorship, the AIMRC and its supported members tripled NIH funding on the Arkansas campus while bringing together over 60 faculty from 8 departments. At Tufts, he is interested in growing TAMIC as an imaging resource and collaborative hub for researchers throughout the School of Engineering and Tufts as a whole.
