Christian Metallo is a professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and holds the Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair. He is also an adjunct professor of bioengineering at UC San Diego. His laboratory integrates engineering approaches, stable isotope tracing, mass spectrometry, and molecular biology tools to dissect how metabolic dysregulation contributes to human disease. Key focus areas include cancer, macular disease, neurodegeneration, and diabetes. Christian received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before starting his lab at UC San Diego in 2011. He was the recipient of a Searle Scholar Award and a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, and he is a fellow in the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
