About

Jakub Tolar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of regenerative medicine and advanced manufacturing. His work centers on adaptive 3D printing, a closed-loop method that integrates real-time feedback control with direct ink writing to fabricate functional and biological materials on moving, freeform surfaces—a breakthrough from his highly cited 2018 paper (242 citations). This innovation overcomes the limitations of conventional calibrate-then-print approaches, enabling precise, on-the-fly fabrication for biomedical applications. Tolar’s broader contributions include developing stem cell therapies for genetic skin and gut disorders, such as recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, where his translational work has led to life-saving clinical trials. With a citation impact exceeding 10,000, he has been recognized with awards like the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award and is a member of the National Academy of Medicine. His research not only advances printing technologies but also directly improves patient outcomes, making him a leader in biofabrication and regenerative medicine.
