Pioneered in the Lab. Now Powering a Startup.
Alex Georgiou is pursuing a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, specializing in biomechanical engineering. A graduate research assistant in the Skylar-Scott Lab, Alex is developing a multi-material micromixing nozzle for high-resolution 2D color image printing. He also earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, graduating cum laude from the University of Washington. There, he conducted undergraduate research in the Theberge Lab, focusing on cardiac tissue engineering and microfluidic platforms for biomedical applications.
Alex’s interests lie at the intersection of mechanical design, bioprinting, and translational bioengineering—driven by a passion for building tools that accelerate scientific discovery and therapeutic innovation.
Jonathan Weiss graduated with a Ph.D. in Bioengineering at Stanford under Mark Skylar-Scott, developing low-cost, high-throughput 3D-printing technologies for generating cardiac tissues. He has extensive experience in 3D computer-aided design (CAD), mechanical device prototyping, 3D printing, and biofabrication. Jonathan uses 3D bioprinting technologies, particularly novel multinozzle printheads, to create soft-material structures such as silicone elastomers, photocurable hydrogels, and cell-laden engineered tissues. His work includes printing custom-geometry heart valves and small-scale cardiac and stem cell tissue models, which is used to study function, growth, and maturation.
