Julie Anne Champion is a professor of chemistry who holds the William R. McLain Endowed Term Professorship at Georgia Institute of Technology. She is known for her work on biomaterials used for drug delivery.

Education and career

[edit]

Champion attended the University of Michigan, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering in 2001. After completing her undergraduate studies, Champion continued her education at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering in 2007[1] under Samir Mitragotri. Following the completion of her Ph.D., Champion conducted postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology where she worked with David A. Tirrell.[2] In 2009, Champion joined the faculty of the Georgia Institute of Technology.[1] As of 2023 Champion is the William R. McLain Endowed Term Professorship.[3]

Research

[edit]

Champion is known for her work on the development of biomaterials for use in drug delivery,[4] tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Her doctoral research focused on the design and synthesis of polystyrene particles with different geometry and their impact to cellular uptake.[5] More recently, her research includes work with nanoparticles[6] investigating how to prevent bacterial growth on surfaces.[7][8]

Awards and honors

[edit]

The American Chemical Society gave Champion their Rising Star Award in 2021.[9] That same year she was named a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering[10] in recognition of her work on "the creation of materials made from therapeutic proteins that enable their delivery and function in immunomodulatory and cancer applications."[11]
