Anesthesiology - Anesthesiology, Endoscopy, Procedural sedation, Physiology, Biomedical engineering, Airway management, Ambulatory anesthesia, Preoperative assessment, General anesthesia, Anesthesia information management systems (Epic)

I am a Harvard trained physician with a background in biomedical engineering. I completed a PhD focused on designing respiratory equipment based on innovative physiological principles. I have been awarded 7 patents and have published 20 papers in the field. I have also developed an expertise in medical IT and electronic medical information systems, including Epic. I have practiced in diverse clinical environments, including academic, private and community. My areas include general surgeries, neurosurgery, orthopedics, urology, gynecology, ambulatory, plastics, gastrointestinal, endoscopy, interventional radiology and other procedural sedations.

Biomedical Engineering, Gastroenterology - Diabetes, Obesity, Inflammatory bowel disease, IBD, Stem cells, Bariatric surgery, Microfluidics, Drug screening, Biotechnology, Organoids

I am an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Shriners Hospital. I received my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and have a well-established record of research in several research areas, including stem cells, gastroenterology, and metabolism (diabetes and obesity). My laboratory's research has been published in leading scientific journals such as Science, Nature Medicine, and Gastroenterology. I also have a successful track record of funding from both federal agencies (such as NIH) and private organizations (including small and large biotech and biopharma companies). I have also frequently served as a consultant for various companies.

Dr. Rouzbeh R. Taghizadeh has dedicated more than 20 years to bringing stem cell-based therapies to clinical practice. His expertise in adult stem cells, primarily human hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells—the regenerative cells involved in successful bone marrow and umbilical cord blood transplantations—uniquely positions him to approach science and business with the same keen powers of insight that have consistently reaped success surmounting scientific and medical barriers in the field. He earned his Ph.D. in Stem Cell Bioengineering in 2006 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and co-founded AuxoCell Laboratories, Inc. as Chief Scientific Officer in 2008 after completing his post-doctoral training from MIT and the Boston Biomedical Research Institute. At MIT, in the laboratory of Dr. James L. Sherley, Dr. Taghizadeh focused on developing novel technologies to preferentially expand human hematopoietic stem cells ex vivo, a long-standing challenge faced by b...
