Dr Cyrus Beh Weijie

Adjunct Assistant Professor

IMCB, A*STAR

 

Dr. Cyrus Beh received his Bachelors in Bioengineering from the National University of Singapore, and his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University. Since returning to Singapore in 2014, he has worked in A*STAR’s Molecular Engineering Laboratory. He has been involved in various A*STAR research initiatives, and has received more than $2.7 million in funding for his projects, with ongoing collaborations with researchers from A*STAR, NTU, as well as local hospitals (NUH and TTSH).

His research interests include bioprinting of cells and organoids, with the goal of creating vascularized constructs that may can serve as living devices. The strategy is also being used to print biomaterials to facilitate high density cell culture for biomanufacturing applications. He has also applied his expertise to develop a fluidic device for cell transfection, intended for cellular immunotherapy manufacturing.
His other research work include instrument prototyping, in the development of a novel 3D bioprinter designed and built in A*STAR; polymer chemistry; microfluidics and microfabrication; fluorescence spectroscopy.
