J. Brandon Dixon is a professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He heads the Laboratory of Lymphatic Biology and Bioengineering (LLBB). Among his most recent publications, Dr. Dixon developed a tissue engineered in vitro model to recapitulate lipid uptake by intestinal lymphatics.[1]
Dixon began at the Georgia Institute of Technology in August 2009 as an assistant professor. Prior to his current appointment, he was a staff scientist at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - Lausanne) doing research on tissue-engineered models of the lymphatic system. Dr. Dixon received his Ph.D. from Texas A&M in biomedical engineering while working in the Optical Biosensing Laboratory, where he developed an imaging system for measuring lymphatic flow and estimating wall shear stress in contracting lymphatic vessels.[2]
