Summary
Darryl Overby earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2002 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of Dr. Mark Johnson and Prof. Roger Kamm for research on the mechanism of intraocular pressure regulation in relation to glaucoma. He spent 3 years as a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School and Children’s Hospital Boston working under Prof. Donald Ingber in the area of cellular biomechanics and mechanotransduction in relation to vascular biology. Between October 2004 and June 2008, he served as Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University. He joined the academic staff at Imperial in July 2008.
