About
Amir Sheikhi is a leading voice in biomaterials and biofabrication, pioneering strategies to bridge the gap between synthetic materials and living tissues. His research centers on developing advanced hydrogels and 3D printing technologies for regenerative medicine, with a particular focus on intracorporeal tissue engineering—the direct fabrication of scaffolds inside the body. In his highly cited 2020 work (91 citations), Sheikhi and his team introduced a novel GelMA-based biomaterial formulation and robotic direct-write printing method, enabling minimally invasive, in situ tissue repair. This contribution has reshaped how researchers approach scaffold delivery, moving from pre-fabricated implants to dynamic, patient-specific constructs. Beyond this landmark study, Sheikhi’s work continues to drive innovation in printable biomaterials, with his publications collectively garnering thousands of citations. His achievements include developing stimuli-responsive hydrogels and advancing the fundamental understanding of polymer–cell interactions. For students and researchers, Sheikhi’s research exemplifies how creative materials engineering can solve pressing clinical challenges, offering a roadmap for the next generation of biofabrication.
