Polly Fordyce is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Genetics and Institute Scholar of ChEM-H at Stanford, where her lab develops and applies new microfluidic platforms for quantitative and high-throughput biophysics, biochemistry, and single-cell biology. She graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with undergraduate degrees in physics and biology before moving to Stanford University, where she earned a Ph.D. in physics for work with Professor Steve Block developing instrumentation and assays for single-molecule studies of kinesin motor proteins. For her postdoctoral research, she worked with Professor Joe DeRisi to develop a new microfluidic platform for understanding how transcription factors recognize and bind their DNA targets as well as a new technology for bead-based multiplexing. She is the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, an NIH New Innovator Award, and the Eli Lilly Award in Biological Chemistry, and she is a Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator.
