About
Dr. Pinar Mesci is a pioneering neurobioengineer whose work sits at the intersection of materials science, stem cell biology, and neural engineering. Her research focuses on developing non-genetic, minimally invasive tools to control and study neural activity, with profound implications for disease modeling, regenerative medicine, and biohybrid robotics. Her most notable contribution, detailed in her highly cited 2025 paper, introduces graphene optoelectronic actuators that use light to modulate neurons without requiring genetic modification or structural alterations—a breakthrough that preserves natural neuronal activity while enabling unprecedented spatiotemporal precision. This work has already garnered 7 citations and represents a paradigm shift in neuromodulation, offering a clean, scalable platform for probing brain function and maturing stem cell-derived models. Dr. Mesci’s innovations bridge fundamental neuroscience and applied bioengineering, positioning her as a leader in creating ethical, non-genetic tools for next-generation neural interfaces and disease therapeutics. Her research continues to inspire students and researchers seeking to merge advanced materials with biology for transformative neurotechnologies.
