Assistant Research Professor
Arizona State University
Tempe, AZ
Jordan R. Yaron, Ph.D. is an Assistant Research Professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy (SEMTE) at Arizona State University. Dr. Yaron is a molecular and cell biologist with nearly 15 years of experience studying inflammation, injury, and repair described in more than 35 peer-reviewed publications. The 2022 recipient of the Wound Healing Foundation 3M Fellowship Award and a 2021 recipient of the K01 Career Development Award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, Dr. Yaron’s research focuses on understanding the physiological and pathological response to tissue injury and the translation of these mechanisms to develop novel therapeutics for healing and repair. He is particularly interested in the role of serine protease inhibitors (serpins) in health and disease. Prior to joining SEMTE, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Mayo Clinic with Vijay Singh, M.D. studying the role of dysregulated lipolysis and dietary fat composition in the adverse outcomes of acute pancreatitis and a second postdoctoral fellowship at the ASU Biodesign Institute with Alexandra Lucas, M.D. developing Myxoma virus¬-derived therapeutic immune modulators for dermal and corneal wound healing, spinal cord injury, liver ischemia-reperfusion injury, lupus-associated lung hemorrhage and lethal gammaherpesvirus vasculitis. Dr. Yaron received his Ph.D. in Biological Design at ASU in 2015 with Deirdre Meldrum, Ph.D. for his work describing the regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway by the flux of potassium and calcium ions across macrophage membranes. Dr. Yaron has editorial roles in the journals Pharmaceutics and Frontiers in Immunology, is on the board of the Arizona Imaging and Microanalysis Society, is a member of the Wound Healing Society communications committee, and is a member of the American Society for Cell Biology and Society for Biomaterials.
