James T. Shoemaker, PhDChief Science Officer
Dr. Shoemaker is the Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at Lena Biosciences. He is an accomplished biomedical engineer with over fifteen years of experience in development and application of three-dimensional (3D) tissue models in applied research and pharmaceutical testing. James is responsible for 3D cell-based assays, R&D, scientific collaborations and partnering activities. He has published peer-reviewed articles focusing on tissue engineering, biomedical devices and biomaterials. Dr. Shoemaker has developed an extraordinary number of forefront, normal and diseased tissue models of the brain, liver, kidney and tumors (Alzheimer's disease model, traumatic brain injury, neuroblastoma, hepatoma, cervical caner, breast cancer etc.). James holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and had prior appointments at Emory.
