LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2025 — The Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) proudly announces that its Director and CEO, Dr. Ali Khademhosseini, has received the 2025 Materials Research Society (MRS) Mid-Career Researcher Award. This prestigious honor recognizes exceptional achievements in materials research by mid-career professionals who have demonstrated notable leadership in the field.
The award was formally presented to Dr. Khademhosseini last week at the MRS Spring Meeting in Seattle, Washington, where he delivered a keynote address on recent advances in engineered tissues for regenerative medicine.
The MRS Mid-Career Researcher Award acknowledges Dr. Khademhosseini's groundbreaking contributions to biomaterials science and tissue engineering, particularly his pioneering work developing innovative materials and technologies for regenerative medicine applications.
"I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Materials Research Society," said Dr. Khademhosseini. "This award reflects the collaborative efforts of many talented researchers I've had the privilege of working with throughout my career. At TIBI, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of materials science to create solutions that address critical healthcare challenges."
Dr. Khademhosseini's research has revolutionized the development of engineered tissue constructs that can be used for drug discovery and regeneration. His lab has been at the forefront of applying microfabrication techniques to generate biomimetic tissues that better model human physiology. His work spans diverse applications, from creating organ-on-a-chip platforms for personalized medicine to developing advanced biomaterials for tissue repair.
