Automation Engineer III
Ginkgo Bioworks
Yasamin received her MS in Controls and Robotics and her PhD in Bioengineering from Stevens Institute of Technology/Harvard Medical School under Prof. Su Ryon Shin's supervision. During her PhD research, she created various types of 3D bioprinted hybrid tissue-like constructs using engineered biomaterials and stem cells, including a hybrid 3D bioprinted nose which could be tuned to "sniff out" a wide range of odors. She also developed bioprinted vascularized skeletal muscle implants that could be engineered to tackle volumetric muscle loss.
Yasamin then joined the Automation team at Ginkgo Bioworks in 2019 to contribute to the design, deployment and validation of various integrated software and robotic platforms, including the design and build of an automated covid-19 testing facility. Yasamin's interests lie in architecting scalable platforms for cell engineering, biological manufacturing and personalized therapeutics.
