Adam Feinberg

Adam Feinberg is a Robert Mehrabian Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the principal investigator of the Regenerative Biomaterials & Therapeutics Group. Feinberg has been in a faculty position since 2010 and has received funding from notable sources including the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award, the NSF CAREER Award, and the Human Frontiers Science Program. He has published more than 45 peer-reviewed research articles and holds more than 20 US patents and patent applications. His research focuses on cell-material interactions and understanding how guidance cues can be encoded in the extracellular space to organize multicellular assembly. His laboratory investigates protein-based materials composed of nanostructured extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins for applications in muscle tissue engineering, corneal repair, and cancer. They use tools of nano- and micro-fabrication in concert with molecular biology and 3-D, live-cell imaging of engineered constructs.

Adam W Feinberg is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on biomaterials, tissue engineering, and the development of extracellular matrix components such as fibronectin for cardiac applications. Feinberg's work explores innovative methods for creating complex biological structures using 3D bioprinting, including the reconstruction of heart components and the fabrication of biohybrid actuators. His research also investigates the role of microtopographic cues in cell behavior and the design of antifouling surfaces for biomedical applications. His contributions span the development of advanced materials and fabrication techniques to enhance tissue regeneration and functional tissue engineering.
