His laboratory studies signal transduction networks, the molecular mechanisms by which mammalian cells regulate their functional responses to external stimuli, using a quantitative analytical approach that combines biochemical measurements, fluorescence microscopy and image analysis, and mathematical modeling and analysis. Prior to joining the NCSU faculty, Dr. Haugh earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received postdoctoral training at Duke University Medical Center. His research awards include New Faculty and Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards from the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation, a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award.
