Bio
Gabor Forgacs is a theoretical physicist turned bioengineer turned innovator and entrepreneur. He is the George H. Vineyard Professor of Biological Physics at the University of Missouri-Columbia, the Scientific Director of the Shipley Center for Innovation at Clarkson University and scientific founder of Organovo, Inc. and Modern Meadow, Inc.
He was trained as a theoretical physicist at the Roland Eotvos University, Budapest, Hungary and the Landau Institute of Theoretical Physics, Moscow, USSR. He also has a degree in biology. His research interests span from topics in theoretical physics to physical mechanisms in early embryonic development.
He is the author of over 160 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 5 books. In particular, he co-authored the celebrated text “Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo” (Cambridge University Press, 2005): a text that discusses the fundamental morphogenetic mechanisms evident in early embryonic development. These mechanisms are being applied to building living tissues and organ structures using bioprinting, a novel tissue engineering technology which Forgacs himself pioneered. Bioprinted human tissues are already being used for drug development and testing through Organovo. Recently the technology has been adapted to the engineering of consumer products of animal origin, such as leather and meat, in environmentally friendly and ethically conscious manner.
