Christopher Fox, PhD
Scientist II
Chris Fox is a Scientist II at IDRI. Chris is responsible for
developing and characterizing particulate formulations
including liposomes and emulsions for more effective
biological presentation of vaccine adjuvants and antigens.
Prior to joining IDRI, Chris researched the characterization of
peptide- and drug-membrane interactions in liposomes and
supported lipid bilayers using confocal Raman microscopy,
TIRF microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetryat the
University of Utah. As a graduate student, Chris played a
leading role in an international student collaboration to draft
a winning proposal on olive oil waste management in
developing countries for the 2006/07 Mondialogo
Engineering Award. He also initiated a local student chapter
of Engineers Without Borders and authored a commended
essay on global health in the First Joint Essay Competition
of the Global Forum for Health Research and The Lancet.
Chris received his BSc in biological engineering from Utah
State University in 2003 where he researched the properties
of block copolymer surface coatings using surface plasmon
resonance and fluorescence microscopy in David Britt's lab.
Chris received his PhD in bioengineering in the lab of Joel
Harris at the University of Utah, where his research focused
on the characterization of peptide- and drug-membrane
interactions in liposomes and supported lipid bilayers using
confocal Raman microscopy, TIRF microscopy, and
differential scanning calorimetry. Chris is currently a
member of the Biophysical Society and the American
Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.
