Dr. Shuvo Roy is a UCSF bioengineer working on the world’s first implantable bio-artificial kidney. His focus is on medical device development to address unmet clinical needs by leveraging his background in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) along with advances in biomaterials, electronics, and nanotechnology to advance health worldwide. He is a professor in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences and the Director of the Biodesign Laboratory, along with an adjunct appointment in the Department of Surgery. In addition, Dr. Roy serves as the Technical Director of The Kidney Project and is a founding member of the FDA-supported UCSF-Stanford Pediatric Device Consortium. 

Dr. Royis the Engineering Lead for UCSF Surgical Innovations, which identifies, mentors and facilitates the translation of medical technologies into transformative new devices and treatments to improve human health. He teaches a bioengineering course on translational challenges for medical devices and diagnostics, and currently acts as the Faculty Director of the UCSF-UCB Master of Translational Medicine (MTM) program.

Dr. Roy earned a BS degree, magna cum laude, for triple majors in physics, mathematics, and computer science, from Mount Union College in Alliance, Ohio in 1992. In 1995, he earned an MS in electrical engineering and applied physics and, in 2001, he earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science, both from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and a recipient of the FDA’s Innovation Pathway 2.0 Award
