Background

Ainslie completed her Bachelors of Science in Chemical engineering from Michigan State University in 1999. After working as an environmental engineer at Malcolm Pirnie, she began graduate school at Penn State as a fellow in the Huck Institutes of the Life Science. In 2003, she completed her Masters of Science in Chemical engineering under John Tarbell, focusing on shear stress modulation of vascular smooth muscle cell contraction.[1][2][3][4][5] Two years later in 2005, she completed her PhD in Chemical engineering under Micheal Pishko, focusing on protein adhesion and cell responses to nanomaterials.[6][7][8][9][10] After a brief post doc at the microcantilever start-up Protiveris, she worked with Lloyd Whitman at the United States Naval Research Laboratory.[11] In 2006, she began a post doc at University of San Francisco in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences under the direction of Tejal Desai. The focus of Ainslie's research at UCSF was on microfabricated oral drug delivery[12][13] carriers and immune responses to planar nanomaterials.[14][15]

Ainslie began her career as a tenure track Assistant Professor at Ohio State University in the School of Pharmacy in the Division of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. In 2014, Ainslie moved to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Division of Pharmacoengineering and Molecular Pharmaceutics as an Associate Professor.

Career

Ainslie has several areas of focus for her lab:

gollark: Not really. I expect rapid breaking upon exposure to the internet.
gollark: Because once it's broken it can be arbitrarily copied.
gollark: Which makes it basically useless though.
gollark: It's some awful "browser" thing PotatOS blocks for your own safety.
gollark: Except heavlisp, because heavpoot.
