Dr. Adam Feinberg

Biography

Adam Feinberg is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the principal investigator of the Regenerative Biomaterials & Therapeutics Group and has been a faculty member since 2010. His research interests focus on cell-material interactions and the guidance cues encoded in the extracellular space to organize multicellular assembly. Feinberg's background in materials science and tissue engineering provides a unique skill set to advance his work in protein-based materials composed of nanostructured ECM proteins. Current investigations in his lab include developing innovative techniques such as an ECM shrink-wrapping technique for building basement membranes and a 3-D bioprinting approach that improves the structures of biofabricated tissues using soft ECM gels like collagen and fibrin. He has received significant funding from NIH and NSF and has published over 45 peer-reviewed research articles, holding more than 20 patents and patent applications. Feinberg's work aims to tackle complex challenges in muscle tissue engineering and corneal repair, pushing the boundaries of biofabrication technologies.
