Navdeep Chadel, PhD
In 2000, Dr. Chandel established his laboratory at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University on understanding how mitochondria work as signaling organelles to regulate physiology and pathology. He has published 230 papers, organized multiple conferences including New York Academy of Sciences, Cell Press and Keystone Symposia and serves on multiple editorial boards including Cell Metabolism, Science Advances and Molecular Cell. He has written “Navigating Metabolism” (Cold Spring Harbor Press), an introductory book to metabolism.
Dr. Corbin came to the TRI-MD after a 3-year term as a Research Assistant Professor at UNC Chapel Hill, Gillings School of Global Public Health, Department of Nutrition. Dr. Corbin earned her doctorate degree in molecular medicine at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in 2008. She became a registered dietitian in 1998 after completing her dietetic internship at the James A. Haley Veteran’s Hospital in Tampa, FL. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition and Food Science in 1997 at Florida State University.
Dr. Corbin is also CEO of a science communication company called Geeks that Speak. After 20 years of traversing the worlds of healthcare and science, she realized that a fundamental barrier exists for translating ideas into solutions: the common inability of scientists and other “geeks” to deliver information in a way that is impactful, relevant and inspires action. This led Dr. Corbin to an important conviction: by sharing her gift of translating complex scientific information in a way that is accessible to a broad range of audiences she could increase her contributions to science. Geeks that Speak®? exists to inspire and empower scientists to become impactful storytellers.
