Dr. George Alexandrakis performed his undergraduate work in Physics at Oxford University, UK, and then obtained Master's and PhD degrees in Medical Physics from McMaster University in Canada. He was postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and UCLA before joining the faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he is currently Professor of Bioengineering. He is an expert in optical medical imaging, microscopy and nanophotonics. His current interests are focused on developing nanosensors for quantifying label-free single-complex protein-ligand interactions and for enabling ultra-sensitive quality control in therapeutic nanoparticle biomanufacturing.
