Vahid Serpooshan

Dr. Vahid Serpooshan completed his BSc and MSc in Materials Science and Engineering at Sharif University (Tehran, Iran, 1998–2003) and his PhD in biomaterials and tissue engineering at McGill University (Montreal, Canada, 2007–2011), where his thesis focused on the design and optimization of scaffolding biomaterials for bone tissue engineering. He then spent seven years at Stanford University School of Medicine as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Pediatric Cardiology and Instructor at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, developing a new generation of engineered cardiac patch devices to repair damaged heart tissue following myocardial infarction — a patch successfully tested in mouse and pig models and now in preparation for clinical trials.

In 2018, Dr. Serpooshan joined Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology as Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Pediatrics. His multidisciplinary lab works on 3D bioprinting-based tissue engineering and disease modeling, including iPSC-derived cardiac and cortical organoid models, human-machine hybrid cardiac tissues, and smart nanobiomaterials for biomedical applications.
