Dr. Derek H Rosenzweig (PhD) is an Associate Professor in the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Department of Experimental Surgery, McGill University. His research is focused on musculoskeletal tissue modeling and engineering, predominantly using biofabrication approaches including 3D printing and bioprinting. He is currently utilizing these tools for tissue engineering applications but also cancer and tissue modeling.

Dr. Rahul Gawri (MD, PhD) is an Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery, McGill University. His research focuses on fracture healing using the body’s immune cells, such as mast cells, and devising strategies for faster and more effective repair. He also conducts research on bioenergetics and energy utilization by cells that generally have a limited nutrient supply, such as intervertebral disc cells and cells at the site of fracture healing. The overall goal of this research is to utilize innate mechanisms and energy modulation to devise effective tissue engineering therapies.
