About me
​​
I am Carlos Ezio, a Mechatronics Engineer from Mexico and a proud 2020 graduate of ITESM. I am a Researcher and Lab Manager at the Shrike Zhang Lab, affiliated with Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, developing novel bioprinters, organ-on-chips platforms, and biomedical devices
Currently, I am in the early stages of co-founding a biotech startup aiming to develop bioprinted tissues as 3D models for preclinical drug development.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, music, adventures, and cool new science.​
