Ned Wingreen is the Howard A. Prior Professor in the Life Sciences at Princeton University. He is a member of the Department of Molecular Biology and of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, where he is Director of Graduate Studies of the QCB Graduate Program. He is also Associate Director of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, and associated faculty in the Department of Physics. Ned received his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from Cornell University in 1989. He did his postdoc in mesoscopic physics at MIT before moving, in 1991, to the NEC Research Institute in Princeton. At NEC, he continued to work in mesoscopic physics, but also started research in biophysics which grew into a general interest in problems at the interface of physics and biology. Ned joined Princeton University in 2004. Ned's current research focuses on theory and modeling in microbiology, cell biology, and immunology. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
