We built the tools
we wished existed.
Printess Technologies grew out of bioprinting research at Stanford University, where the tools needed for advanced bioprinting didn't exist at a price researchers, artists, or makers could afford. So we built them.
Team
The People Behind It
Founder & Director of Operations
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University. Graduate researcher in the Skylar-Scott Lab, specializing in precision multi-material gel printing and cardiac tissue engineering. B.S. Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington (cum laude). Accel Leadership Program · RootedIn Venture Capital Fellow.
Co-Founder & Director of Engineering
Ph.D. candidate in Aerospace Engineering at Stanford University, specializing in combustion science and high-precision experimental systems. Research spanning fluid dynamics, microfluidic devices, and nanocomposite materials. B.E. Mechanical Engineering (summa cum laude), Macaulay Honors College at CCNY.
Founding Scientific Advisor
B.A. and M.Eng, Cambridge University. Ph.D. in Medical and Electrical Engineering, MIT. Postdoctoral research with Jennifer Lewis at Harvard, developing methods for vascularized tissues, organoids, and soft robotics. Early team at Formlabs. Now a member of Stanford's BASE Initiative at the Children's Heart Center, focused on billion- and trillion-cell bioprinting towards whole-organ biomanufacturing.
Origin
Pioneered in the Lab.
Now Powering a Startup.
Our work began in the Skylar-Scott Lab at Stanford University, a world leader in bioprinted cardiac and vascular tissue research. Operating at the intersection of synthetic biology, tissue engineering, and 3D printing, the lab develops strategies to build patient-specific cardiac tissues as a potential solution for congenital heart defects in children.
The Printessa emerged from that environment: designed from scratch to meet the precision and flexibility demands of active bioprinting research, then refined into a platform that could serve researchers, artists, educators, and makers far beyond the lab.
In 2025, we incorporated Printess Technologies with a mission to make precision gel printing accessible to everyone.
