About

Gulden Camci‐Unal is a leading researcher in biomaterials and tissue engineering, whose work focuses on creating advanced microenvironments to direct stem cell fate and engineer functional tissues. Her major contributions include the development of a combinatorial cell-laden gel microarray, which enables high-throughput screening of three-dimensional microenvironments for inducing osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells—a platform that has garnered 141 citations for its transformative potential in regenerative medicine. She also pioneered the use of interdigitated Pt electrode arrays for electrical stimulation to engineer aligned skeletal muscle tissue, a highly cited study (116 citations) that advanced applications in tissue engineering, drug screening, and bio-robotics. Camci‐Unal’s innovative approaches have significantly impacted the field by providing scalable, reproducible tools for directing stem cell differentiation and creating functional muscle constructs. Her work is recognized for bridging materials science and biology, offering new pathways for therapeutic tissue regeneration.
