We are pleased to invite you to a seminar by Kevin Edward Healy.
Kevin E. Healy is the Jan Fandrianto and Selfia Halim Distinguished Professor in Engineering at the University of California Berkeley in the Departments of Bioengineering, and Materials Science and Engineering. He is a thought leader and innovator working at the interface of stem cell biology and materials science to develop dynamic engineered systems for exploring both fundamental biological phenomena and new applications in translational medicine.
Kevin’s group currently conducts research in the following areas: bioinspired stem cell microenvironments to control lineage specification and self-organisation into microtissues or organoids; bioinspired systems for regenerative medicine; biological interfaces; and microphysiological systems for drug development, gene editing, and drug toxicity screening.
Professor Healy is an elected Fellow of AIMBE, AAAS, IUSBSE, and BMES, and has received an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Award. He is a named inventor on numerous issued United States and international patents relating to biomaterials, therapeutics, stem cells, and medical devices, and has founded several companies to develop these systems for use in biotechnology and regenerative medicine.
The seminar is hosted by Abhay Pandit.
