Ali Khademhosseini (born October 30, 1975) is a Professor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. He is internationally known for his research in the area of biomedical microdevices and biomaterials. He has developed a number of methods for controlling the stem cell microenvironment using novel microscale devices and to engineer biomaterials for tissue engineering. Currently he is an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Health Sciences Technology. He has published extensively in the area of biomedicine and stem cell bioengineering. He has over 65 peer-reviewed publications, >60 invited presentations and 14 issued or pending patents. He received his PhD in Bioengineering at MIT and his undergraduate and Masters degrees, both in chemical engineering at University of Toronto.

In 2007 he received the Technology Review Magazine TR35 as one of the top young innovators under the age of 35. He received the TR35 based on his work on developing 'living legos' that can be used to make artificial organs. Also, in 2007 he received the Scientific award of the BMW Group, one of the world's richest prizes for young scientists.
