John is the founding Director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Integrative Biosystems Research and Education (VIIBRE). He is also the Gordon A Cain University Professor; a B learned Professor of Living State Physics; and a Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, and Physics. John earned his PhD in physics at Stanford University (CA, USA). After serving as a Research Fellow in Cardiology at Stanford, he joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University (TN, USA), where he went on to make the first measurement of the magnetic field of an isolated nerve. He founded VIIBRE at Vanderbilt in 2001 in order to foster and enhance interdisciplinary research in the biophysical sciences, bioengineering and medicine. VIIBRE efforts have led to the development of devices integral to organ-on-chip research. He is focusing on the neurovascular unit-on-a-chip, heart-on-a-chip, a missing organ microformulator, and microfluidic pumps and valves to control and analyze organs-on-chips.
约翰是范德比尔特综合生物系统研究与教育研究所（VIIBRE）的创始所长。他还是戈登·A·凯恩大学教授、生命状态物理学杰出教授，以及生物医学工程、分子生理学与生物物理学和物理学教授。约翰在美国加利福尼亚州斯坦福大学获得物理学博士学位。在斯坦福担任心脏病学研究员后，他加入了美国田纳西州范德比尔特大学的物理与天文学系，在那里他首次测量了孤立神经的磁场。2001年，他在范德比尔特创立了VIIBRE，以促进和加强生物物理科学、生物工程和医学领域的跨学科研究。VIIBRE的工作推动了芯片器官研究不可或缺的设备的开发。他专注于芯片上的神经血管单元、芯片上的心脏、缺失器官微成型器以及用于控制和分析芯片上器官的微流体泵和阀门。
