About

Katharine Goodwin is a rising leader in the field of multicellular systems engineering, where she explores how to design and build complex living tissues to understand development and disease. Her work bridges synthetic biology and tissue engineering, focusing on the principles that govern how cells self-organize into functional structures. Goodwin’s most-cited paper, “Engineering multicellular living systems—a Keystone Symposia report” (2022, 6 citations), synthesizes key challenges and opportunities in the field, highlighting the potential to revolutionize drug development and our understanding of biological processes. While her citation count is still growing, her contributions are already shaping the conversation around how to emulate natural tissue formation and incorporate new cellular functions. Goodwin’s research is particularly notable for its emphasis on integrating engineering principles with fundamental biology, offering a roadmap for creating living systems that can both mimic and extend natural capabilities. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of regenerative medicine, organoids, and programmable tissues.
