Dr. Tyler Goralski is a research biologist at the U.S. Army DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground. He serves as principle investigator for multiple studies which rely on various organs-on-chips technologies, and in vitro based systems to better characterize and predict the effects of emerging chemical and biological threats on human organs and tissues. He earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology from The Pennsylvania State University, where his research focused on the development of antimicrobial molecules to inhibit the tier 1 biothreat agent Francisella tularensis, as well as the physiology of the antimicrobial target pathway known as ribosome rescue. In his free time, Dr. Goralski teaches advanced cell biology and molecular biology as an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University.
