Biography

Dr. Emily Park joined the Bioengineering faculty at Santa Clara University as a lecturer in 2019, after 20 years of research and development experience in the biomedical industry. She is a molecular virologist by training with the emphasis on vaccine engineering and immune mechanisms. After academic training at the University of Massachusetts (Ph.D.) and the National Institute of Health (Postdoctoral), she’s continued her research in the biomedical industry. As a biomolecular engineer, she’s been leading the R&D functions in drug development, bioassays, and molecular diagnostics. Throughout her career in the industry, she’s been active members of the biomedical societies and produced numerous publications and patents.
