About

Ashlee N. Ford Versypt is a trailblazer in the intersection of chemical engineering, systems biology, and computational modeling. Her research focuses on developing multiscale mathematical models to understand complex biological systems, particularly in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and infectious diseases. She is widely recognized for her work on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nanoparticles, as well as modeling the progression of kidney disease and tuberculosis. One of her most cited papers (290 citations) investigates how neonicotinoid pesticides disrupt bumblebee nest behavior, social networks, and thermoregulation, revealing critical insights into the sublethal effects of pesticides on pollinators. This work, featured in *Science*, exemplifies her ability to bridge engineering and ecology. Ford Versypt’s impact is reflected in over 3,000 citations and numerous awards, including an NSF CAREER award and the AIChE 35 Under 35 recognition. Her innovative use of computational tools to solve pressing biological and environmental problems makes her a leading voice in quantitative systems biology and a role model for interdisciplinary research.
