About

Nuria Pulido is a rising leader in synthetic biology and multicellular systems engineering, whose work bridges fundamental biology and translational applications. Her research focuses on designing and constructing complex living systems—from engineered tissues to microbial consortia—to both understand natural biological processes and develop new therapeutic platforms. Pulido’s most cited work, the Keystone Symposia report “Engineering multicellular living systems” (2022, 6 citations), synthesizes cutting-edge approaches to programming cell-cell communication, spatial organization, and emergent behaviors in synthetic tissues. This report has become a key reference for researchers seeking to move beyond single-cell engineering toward functional, multicellular architectures. Pulido’s contributions are particularly notable for their emphasis on integrating synthetic gene circuits with biomaterials and microfluidics to create predictable, programmable living systems. Her work is already shaping how scientists approach drug development, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine by providing tools to build—rather than just observe—biological complexity. As an emerging voice in the field, Pulido is helping define the next frontier of synthetic biology: engineering life at the multicellular scale.
