Senior🎓
Top SchoolSkip Mercier is a postdoctoral fellow and bioengineering PhD with 13 years' hands-on experience in cellular and protein engineering, viral vector design, and preclinical assay development. Based at the University of Houston, he develops electromagnetic biosensors to detect obesity-related metabolic disorders and collaborates on clinical studies at the Texas Medical Center, bridging bench research with translational clinical work. His technical toolkit spans primary mammalian cell culture, phage display, affinity chromatography, flow cytometry, AAV/adenoviral vector production, and advanced immunoassays, informed by prior work that supported FDA evaluations for nanoparticle cancer therapies. Trained in chemical engineering and gene therapy, he combines rigorous molecular engineering with practical assay validation and animal-model experience. An underappreciated strength is his cross-disciplinary fluency—applying biophysical sensing approaches to biological questions—which positions him to translate complex biological signals into clinically relevant diagnostics.
