About
Kowther Kahin is a biomedical engineer and researcher whose work sits at the exciting intersection of three-dimensional bioprinting, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Her research has made meaningful contributions to addressing one of healthcare's most pressing challenges: the shortage of viable tissues and organs for transplantation. Kahin's most impactful work centers on the development and optimization of advanced bioinks, particularly ultrashort peptide hydrogels and nanofibrous self-assembling peptide systems, which serve as scaffolding materials for printing viable biological structures. Her 2018 study optimizing bioprinting processes using ultrashort peptide bioinks and her 2019 investigation of nanofibrous hydrogels with mouse myoblast cells for skeletal muscle regeneration have each garnered 23 citations, demonstrating strong community uptake in a rapidly evolving field. The latter work specifically targets volumetric muscle loss, a condition where conventional self-healing fails and innovative regenerative strategies are critical. Beyond materials science, Kahin has also contributed to bioprinting infrastructure, developing a robotic 3D bioprinting and microfluidic pumping system that advances the practical engineering of tissue constructs. With a cumulative citation footprint spanning clinical, materials, and systems-level innovation, her research offers a compelling foundation for students exploring the future of personalized medicine and biofabrication.
