Dr. Adam Farsheed is a postdoctoral fellow in Professor Rusty Gage's Laboratory of Genetics at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where he is leveraging 3D printing and biomaterial design to engineer hydrogel-based models of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. He received his PhD in bioengineering from Rice University in 2024, where he developed Multidomain Peptide (MDP) hydrogels for 3D bioprinting applications and to direct anisotropic cell growth. Prior to this, he received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University in 2017. Dr. Farsheed’s research interests span biomaterials, tissue engineering, fabrication techniques, and in vitro cell models.
