About

Agnes Nagy Mehesz is a pioneering figure in the field of bioprinting and tissue engineering, whose work has fundamentally advanced the scalable fabrication of living tissues. Her research centers on the development of robotic biofabrication techniques, specifically focusing on the creation and self-assembly of tissue spheroids for organ printing. Mehesz’s major contribution lies in devising methods for the scalable production of uniformly sized tissue spheroids, a critical step for building large, functional tissue constructs. Her 2011 paper on "Scalable robotic biofabrication of tissue spheroids" (117 citations) introduced a novel micromolded recessed template technique, enabling high-throughput, consistent spheroid generation. This work directly addresses a key bottleneck in the field. Additionally, her 2010 study on "Tissue spheroid fusion-based in vitro screening assays" (78 citations) demonstrated how these spheroids can be used to analyze tissue maturation, providing a powerful platform for drug testing and developmental biology. By merging robotics with self-assembly principles, Mehesz has laid the groundwork for automated, scaffold-free tissue engineering, making her a leading voice in the quest to bioprint complex, transplantable human organs.
