About
Walaa F. Alsanie is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, biomaterials, and advanced manufacturing. Her work centers on developing innovative three-dimensional (3D) models to study neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson’s disease, and on engineering smart materials for biomedical applications. In a landmark 2022 study (39 citations), Alsanie fabricated functional dopaminergic neuronal 3D models using ultrashort self-assembling peptide scaffolds, creating a biomimetic environment that recapitulates brain complexity—a major step toward more accurate disease modeling and drug screening. She has also advanced the field of 4D printing, integrating graphene with shape memory polymers to create stimuli-responsive materials (31 citations), with implications for soft robotics and adaptive implants. Most recently, her 2024 work (4 citations) employed high-throughput robotic 3D bioprinting to investigate the effects of pregabalin on embryonic cortical neuron development, addressing critical gaps in understanding prenatal drug exposure. With contributions spanning tissue engineering, smart nanocomposites, and neurotoxicology, Alsanie’s research is shaping the future of personalized medicine and regenerative therapies.
