Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Barbaro is an interdisciplinary scientist and educator in San Diego who builds atomic-resolution, interactive computer models of cell-scale biological systems and translates them into research, teaching, and physical 3D prints. With a PhD in neuroscience and roughly nine years postdoctoral and research experience at institutions like The Scripps Research Institute and UC Irvine, he leads projects on pancreatic beta cells and minimal-genome organisms in collaboration with USC, UCSD, and the J. Craig Venter Institute. He also teaches Introduction to Biochemistry at UCSD Extension, using classroom time to refine visualization and modeling approaches born from his lab work. Beyond academia he consults on science communication for film and public exhibits—work that ranges from advising on Divergent to designing 3D displays for “Al’s Brain in 3-D.” His blend of computational modeling, wet-lab background, and hands-on fabrication makes him adept at turning complex molecular biology into engaging, tangible experiences.
