Nayere Taebnia

I have built up my career at the crossroads of biology and engineering. I am a self-motivated and open-minded team player, who enjoys working in cross-disciplinary and multicultural environments. My research interest is developing biomimetic tissue models and integrated microphysiological systems (MPS) for humanizing drug development and advancing basic science. 

My graduate work at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) was centered on developing biomimetic tissue models. I employ microbiofabrication techniques and 3D printing to develop native-like microfluidic devices, scaffolds, and cell-laden hydrogels for various biomedical applications.
Currently, I am working on combining physiologically relevant tissue models, advanced microscopy techniques, high throughput fabrication methods, and analytical assays to acquire further insight into cellular events.
