Dr Nona Farbehi is a Senior Lecturer at the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, 91ɫ��Ƭ Sydney. She completed her PhD jointly at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in the laboratory of Prof Richard Harvey and at 91ɫ��Ƭ in the laboratory of A/Prof Robert Nordon, supported by funding from an International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) and Stem Cells Australia (SCA).

Following her doctoral training, Dr Farbehi played a key role in establishing the Garvan–Weizmann Centre for Cellular Genomics (GWCCG), a state-of-the-art national facility providing single-cell and multi-omic technologies to researchers across Australia and internationally. She then undertook postdoctoral training in Prof Joseph Powell’s group from 2020, where her work focused on population-scale stem cell technologies to investigate how common genetic variation shapes cellular phenotypes.

Dr Farbehi joined 91ɫ��Ƭ Sydney in 2022 and has since established an independent, interdisciplinary research program at the interface of biomedical engineering, genomics, and biomaterials. Her research integrates large-scale single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, advanced bioinformatics, and the design and fabrication of novel biomaterials and microfluidic systems to study cell–material interactions and tissue repair in health and disease.
