Kristin Myers, PhD (she/her/hers)

Associate Professor
Columbia University
New York, New York, United States

Kristin Myers is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University in the City of New York. Her current obstetrics research is done in tight collaboration with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Kristin is an international leader in Women’s Health Engineering, a rapidly expanding field applying research and biotechnology development to improve women's lives. Her work utilizes experimental, theoretical, and computational biomechanics to calculate and study the physiology of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Her work aims to uncover the structural antecedents of preterm birth to design and invent new diagnostic and therapeutic clinical tools. Dr. Myers’s lab holds the largest published library of biomechanical data and models of human pregnancy, focused on cervical and uterine properties, geared for clinical translation. She received her Mechanical Engineering doctorate and masters degree from MIT and her bachelors degree from the University of Michigan. In 2019 Kristin was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from the White House for her work in understanding tissue growth and remodeling in pregnancy.
