human condition. Dynamic protein measurements are a lynchpin to realizing these knowledge leaps."She held a 5-year appointment as the Lester John & Lynne Dewar Lloyd Distinguished Professor of Bioengineering from 2015 to 2020. She is also on the advisory board for the Bakar Fellows program at UC Berkeley and previously served as its faculty director. She serves on the NIH National Advisory Council of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering and she is a board member of the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society. Herr is an accomplished entrepreneur, co-founding Zephyrus Biosciences in 2013 (acquired by Bio-Techne, Inc. in 2016). Zephyrus Biosciences enabled protein analysis at the single cell level for thousands of cells in parallel. For this and her other efforts in commercializing academic research, she received the Berkeley Visionary Award from the City of Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, 2017. Speaking about the UC Berkeley campus entrepreneurial spirit, she said "When I came here, I never saw myself as an entrepreneur, but we have people here who can demystify the process. And if a student thinks, `I can do this,’ then it's going to spread to a lot of our students." The co-founders of Eko Devices, who developed a digital stethoscope and other cardiovascular health tools, credit their time in Herr's Capstone Design class with inspiring the initial idea for their company. She also has a record of mentorship since her early career, including receiving an Outstanding Mentor Award in 2007 at Sandia Laboratories, the 2012 Ellen Weaver Award for mentoring from the Association of Women in Science (Northern California), and an Award for Excellence in Postdoctoral Mentoring from the Visiting Scientist & Postdoc. Affairs at UC Berkeley in 2019. In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, she joined N95DECON, a scientific consortium researching methods to effectively decontaminate N95 masks.
