He respectively received a B.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Brown University in 2002, and Washington University in St. Louis in 2009, where his dissertation work was completed under the guidance of Prof. Donald Elbert. As a Whitaker International Scholar, he performed postdoctoral research in Switzerland in the laboratories of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell and Prof. Melody Swartz at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Dr. Scott is a recipient of the American Heart Association Scientist Development Grant, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, and the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award. His laboratory applies principles from bionanotechnology and tissue engineering towards the development of translational immunotherapies for heart disease and the rational design of vaccines.
