Costas Arvanitis is an Associate Professor jointly appointed in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University (2016–present). He received his Ph.D. in Medical Physics and Bioengineering from University College London in 2008 and subsequently pursued a postdoctoral fellowship (2008–2009) at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Oxford. From 2010 to 2016, he continued his research at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he was appointed as Instructor (Research Faculty). Dr. Arvanitis’ research investigates how ultrasound-mediated thermal and mechanical stresses influence biological function and mass transport in the brain. His laboratory develops spatially precise, feedback-controlled systems to interrogate and modulate the neurovascular unit and its interactions with immune cells, including mechanistic studies of drug transport in brain tissue. Insights from this work inform the development of targeted cell and gene delivery approaches and noninvasive strategies for modulating immune cell activity within brain tumors.
