Kyle P. Quinn, PhD, is a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Arkansas and director of the NIH-funded Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center (AIMRC). Dr. Quinn received his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and earned his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. As a postdoctoral fellow at Tufts University, he was awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award and Pathway to Independence Award from the NIH. Since joining the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arkansas, his lab has been continuously funded by NIH and received the NSF CAREER award. In 2021, he established the AIMRC, which integrates optical imaging, bioenergetics, and data science approaches to solve biomedical research problems involving cell and tissue metabolism. His overall research interests are in developing and utilizing non-invasive quantitative optical methods to characterize the spatiotemporal patterns of disease progression and tissue repair processes. His research group is exploring how label-free multiphoton microscopy and artificial intelligence can be used to establish optical biomarkers for use in characterizing wound healing and aging.
