Todd McDevitt, PhD

Todd McDevitt is a renowned stem cell engineer who has made significant contributions to the field of stem cell therapy. With a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Washington and a B.S.E in Biomedical & Electrical Engineering from Duke University, Todd has held positions as a former Professor at the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, and as a Senior Investigator at Gladstone Institutes. Currently, he serves as Program Director for the UCSF Bioengineering Graduate Program (joint with UC Berkeley) and continues his research in his lab, which focuses on developing engineering technologies to translate the potential of stem cells into novel regenerative therapies.

Todd's primary research focuses on creating functional 3D human tissues from pluripotent stem cells to serve as ex vivo models of development, controlling differentiation and morphogenesis. He seeks to innovate targeted molecular therapies from stem cells for tissue regeneration, immunomodulation and anti-aging strategies. Todd's expertise and innovative approach to stem cell engineering make him a distinguished leader in the field, and his research has received extensive recognition from prominent professional organizations.
