David Dean
Associate Professor
The Ohio State University
I have been an Associate Professor with tenure at The Ohio State University (OSU; Columbus, OH) since 2013 and currently have faculty appointments in the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering (College of Engineering) and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (College of Medicine). At OSU I direct the Osteo Engineering Laboratory (OEL). The OEL focuses on the design and fabrication, including point-of-care manufacturing, of devices for reconstructive skeletal surgery. Those devices currently include 3D printed metallic CMF (craniomaxillofacial) skeletal fixation, bone tissue engineered devices with tethered ligands, and biofabricated microvasculature. My appointment transferred to OSU after nearly 20 years (1994-2013) at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU; Cleveland, OH) where my primary appointment had been in the Department of Neurological Surgery (School of Medicine). I lead the 3D printing curriculum at OSU. A course, “Biomedical Device AM” (available online), that I developed, is offered to upper level undergraduate and graduate students. I have supervised the research of more than 50 Postdoctoral and Doctoral student researchers and nearly two hundred undergraduate, medical, and dental students.
