Khalid Salaita is a Professor of Chemistry at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia (USA). Khalid pursued his undergraduate studies at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. He worked under the mentorship of Prof. Nancy Xu studying the spectroscopic properties of plasmonic nanoparticles. He then obtained his Ph.D. with Prof. Chad Mirkin at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL (USA) in 2006. During that time, he studied the electrochemical properties of organic adsorbates patterned onto gold films and developed massively parallel scanning probe lithography approaches. From 2006-2009, Khalid was a postdoctoral scholar with Prof. Jay T. Groves at the University of California at Berkeley (USA) where he investigated the role of receptor clustering in modulating cell signaling. In 2009, Khalid started his own lab at Emory University, where he investigates the interface between living systems and nanoscale materials. To achieve this goal, his group has pioneered the development of molecular force sensor, DNA mechanotechnology, and nanoscale mechanical actuators that are used to manipulate living cells. These materials are used to investigate the molecular mechanisms of a number of pathways where piconewton forces are thought to be important. These pathways include the Notch-Delta pathway, T cell receptor activation and the integrin-based focal adhesion pathway. In recognition of his independent work, Khalid has received a number of awards, most notably: the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, the Camille-Dreyfus Teacher Scholar award, the National Science Foundation Early CAREER award, and the Kavli Fellowship. Khalid’s program has been supported by NSF, NIH, and DARPA.
