Founders

  • Dr. Stephanie Willerth

    Dr. Willerth is a full professor of Biomedical Engineering who runs an active research group that investigates how to engineer neural tissue from pluripotent stem cells. This group has developed many types of biomaterial scaffolds for promoting the differentiation of iPSCs into neural phenotypes for tissue engineering applications, like screening the toxicity of drugs, learning about how tissues form during development and replacing dysfunctional tissues. She founded Axolotl Biosciences with the goal of bioprinting neural tissues easily accessible to scientists and engineering from a range of backgrounds.

  • Dr. Laura De La Vega

    Dr. Laura De La Vega is a scientist and bioengineer who's passionate about basic, translational science and innovative technologies. She has experience in the fields of stem cells, biomaterials and biotechnology that involve the development of technological applications using biological systems. She completed her Ph.D at the University of Victoria where she developed novel techniques for engineering neual tissue under the direction of Dr. Willerth. Her goal in co-founding Axolotl Biosciences is to optimize bioinks for multiple bioprinting platforms and address customer's need for this technology in the field of 3D bioprinting.

  • Laila Abelseth

    Laila completed an Undergraduate Degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Victoria. During the final year of her degree she focused on cell culture and tissue engineering by completing two work terms in Dr.Willerth's lab and incorporating tissue engineering into her honours and final capstone projects. Through her work with Axolotl Biosciences, she wants to contribute to advancements in tissue engineering and biological researcg which will hopefully lead to improved healthcare.
