is a Senior Lecturer leading the multidisciplinary stem cell mechanobiology lab at the School of Human Sciences at the University of Western Australia. His lab focuses on how mechanical microenvironments alter cell behaviors to better understand cell–matrix interaction. He brings unique interdisciplinary skills in adult stem cells; biomaterial fabrication; and mechanobiology developed during his PhD at the University of Melbourne (Prof. Rodney Dilley) and postdoc training at UC San Diego Bioengineering (Prof. Adam Engler). His publications helped to popularize the use of adipose‐derived stem cells in regenerative medicine and to expand the field of stem cell mechanobiology. Since arriving in Western Australia in 2015; he has established his lab; assisted by awards including a National Health and Medical Research Council Project Grant; Career Development Fellowship; and Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellowship. Yu Suk Choiis an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Queen's University in Kingston; Ontario (Canada). Research in the Wells lab focuses on the development of stimuli‐responsive polymeric biomaterials for drug delivery and strategies to optimize medical device integration for ophthalmic applications. She is also focused on methodologies to mitigate sex and gender bias in the design and testing of medical devices. Dr. Wells obtained her undergraduate degree from Queen's University; her Master's and PhD degrees from McMaster University with Prof. Heather Sheardown; and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the University of Toronto with Prof. Michael Sefton. Dr. Wells is a recipient of the prestigious Ontario Early Career Research Award and numerous local and federal grants (NSERC; CFI). Laura Wellsis a Junior Professor in Bioengineering at Heidelberg University. She has a double Masters' degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Minho; Portugal; (2010); and Laboratory Animal Science from RWTH Aachen International Academy (2019). She received a PhD with honors in Bioprinting; Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering from RWTH Aachen (2016). As a postdoc; she led the Bioprinting & Stem Cell group at RWTH Aachen University Hospital (2016–2018); and she received a research fellowship from the German Research Foundation to visit the lab of Prof. Sarah Heilshorn at Stanford University (2019). She is currently the research group leader of the Bioprinting & Tissue Engineering lab at the Center for Molecular Biology in Heidelberg and a Principal Investigator in the Cluster of Excellence 3DMM2O. Her team investigates biofabrication technologies and biomaterials suitable for tissue and organ engineering; and their impact on the structure and function of natural and synthetic living tissues. Daniela Duarte Camposis an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at the University of California; San Diego and the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine; where he leads his research group focused on studying sex differences in cardiovascular diseases using biomaterial technologies. Dr. Aguado completed his MS and PhD in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University and his BS degree in biomechanical engineering from Stanford University. He also obtained his certificate in Management from the Kellogg School of Management. He finished his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Colorado Boulder; where he received postdoctoral awards from the National Institutes of Health and Burroughs Wellcome Fund. Dr. Aguado co‐founded LatinXinBME; a virtual community dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive group of Latinx biomedical engineers to support each other through their careers. For his efforts; he was named one of the 100 Most Inspiring Latinx Scientists in America by Cell Press. Brian Aguado;
