Joshua François is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Boise State University. After receiving his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, he completed his Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of California, San Diego. As a Ph.D. student, he used statistical analysis and three-dimensional (3D) image processing tools to investigate how the density of 3D environments affects 3D white blood cell migration. Joshua then completed his postdoctoral training in the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School, where his research focused on the development of novel 3D assays, 3D image analysis techniques, and next-generation sequencing approaches to understand how DNA damage and 3D cell microenvironments affect cell signaling dynamics. He has received numerous fellowships and awards, including Harvard Medical School’s Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship. During his free time, he enjoys dancing and learning new languages.
