Adam Toubian

Adam is a 2nd year PhD student in the department of Biomedical Engineering. Adam’s research directly relates to the ARPA-H project RX On-site Generation Using Electronics (ROGUE). ROGUE aims to develop cells to be housed in bioimplantable devices to enable on-demand production and delivery of biologics products, such as the type 2 diabetes treatment Wegovy. As the lead student on this project from the Wong Lab, Adam is primarily focused on developing the correct chassis cell line to enable this long-term, durable protein production, and developing and testing the genetic circuits necessary to sense user input and, ultimately, produce the therapeutics of interest.
