Amir Bein

Amir is a senior postdoctoral fellow at Don Ingber’s lab at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. Amir received his PhD from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is a Hoffman Leadership and Responsibility Fellowship Program laureate. He is a certified dietitian with past in/out patient and private clinic experience in clinical nutrition.

Amir has extensive research experience in intestinal physiology and pathophysiology with a focus on mechanisms of gut inflammation. His biophysical work covers the development of a label free SPR based cells biosensor and a method for cryopreservation of adherent cells.

Current work at the Ingber lab focuses on developing in-vitro models for intestinal infection and Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) using Organ-On-Chip microfluidic technology that can recapitulate the multicellular architectures, tissue-tissue interfaces, chemical gradients, mechanical cues and vascular perfusion of the body.
