As CTO, Herr will help lead the Network’s efforts to advance technologies to observe, measure, and analyze human biology in action.

Herr, a professor of bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley, is an award-winning innovator in bioinstrumentation focused on design and creation of tools to surmount “measurement gaps” in basic and translational biomedical science, most recently centering on difficult-to-measure protein forms in single cells. Though proteins carry out nearly every cellular task, little is known about their ever-changing and myriad expressions, called proteoforms. Herr’s laboratory harnesses microfluidic design principles to yield precision tools optimized to characterize proteoforms, offering a greater specificity that complements existing single-cell analysis tools. Her approach gives insight into basic life processes and disease progression, including resistance to cancer treatment.
