Dr. Munson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Tech and the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences and an affiliate member of the Wake Forest Comprehensive Cancer Institute. She received her Ph.D. from Georgia institute of Technology in 2011 and completed her postdoctoral training at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). During her training, she was supported by the NSFGRFP, a Fulbright Fellowship, and a Whitaker Scholarship. Prior to her appointment at Virginia Tech, Dr. Munson was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia. Her laboratory studies the role of fluid flow in tissue homeostasis and disease with a specific focus on cancer and neurological disorders. She uses tissue engineered cell culture models, in vivo imaging methodology, and computational modeling to explore the nature and impact of interstitial fluid flow on cells and tissues. Dr. Munson has received funding from the NCI, NIBIB, Coulter Foundation, and the American Cancer Society. In 2016, Dr. Munson was awarded the Rita Schaffer Young Investigator Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society, and in 2017, she was awarded the Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Young Innovator Award. She also serves as the Department Diversity and Inclusion Chair.
