Gabor Forgacs
Gabor Forgacs is a biophysicist-turned-entrepreneur whose companies are “printing” tissues for medicine and pharma, as well as for consumptions, such as leather and meat.
Forgacs is the Scientific Founder of Organovo, a San Diego-based company producing the NovoGen MMX Bioprinter, a printer that creates three-dimensional, functional human tissue that is superior to current disease models.
Forgacs’ latest venture seeks to develop 3D printed leather, which could drastically reduce the environmental and economic impact of leather production.
