About
Angela Pastore is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and tissue engineering, with a primary focus on developing automated manufacturing platforms for skeletal tissue repair. Her major contributions center on creating scalable, reproducible methods for producing cartilaginous microtissues—a critical step toward translating tissue-engineered products from the lab to the clinic. In her most cited work, "Robotics-Driven Manufacturing of Cartilaginous Microtissues for Skeletal Tissue Engineering Applications" (2024, 14 citations), Pastore introduced a novel automation strategy that employs a robotics platform to perform media changes and real-time imaging of microtissues cultured in static microwell plates. This approach addresses a key bottleneck in tissue engineering: the manual, labor-intensive nature of production that hinders clinical scalability. By demonstrating that robotic handling can maintain tissue viability and quality, Pastore’s work lays the groundwork for high-throughput, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant fabrication of implantable cartilage constructs. Her research is particularly notable for bridging engineering precision with biological complexity, offering a tangible path toward affordable, patient-specific skeletal therapies. As a rising voice in biofabrication, Pastore’s innovations promise to accelerate the clinical adoption of tissue-engineered products.
