Dr. Jacques Zaneveld, Ph.D.

President and Founder




Dr. Jacques Zaneveld is a professional scientist and entrepreneur. Half of his early life was spent on a boat in the South Pacific, while the other half was spent in Corvallis, Oregon. Traveling the world instilled him with a sense of wonder and curiosity fuels his work to this day. Trained as a scientist, Dr. Zaneveld has published numerous scientific papers, and obtained funding for his work from the National Eye Institute, National Library of Medicine, the CIBR center and the National Science Foundation. Originally, 3D printing was a hobby, but he quickly realized its potential to revolutionize medicine and science. Jacques founded Lazarus 3D to help scientists and clinicians by providing them with 3D printing tools and techniques.

Megan Mendieta

Senior Anatomy Engineer




Megan Mendieta is a graduate of Arizona State University, where she studied Biomedical Engineering. There she participated in the Biomaterials Laboratory of Dr. Brent Vernon, conducting rheology of bio-gels used to clot wounds. She interned with Baylor College of Medicine during her junior year, learning the in's and out's of plastic surgery, in the role of a medical student. It was there that she found ways to apply her engineering education directly in the medical field, and began working on a Capstone project based upon her experiences. This included delving into aspects of 3D printing, segmentation and the human anatomy. Following working on this project, Megan did a small internship with Lazarus 3D and upon graduation, began working with the company as an Anatomy Engineer. Her position entails research, design, and manufacturing of the surgical rehearsal models.

Alexander Woodruff-Hall

Anatomy Engineer




Alexander Woodruff-Hall brings experience as an engineer and project manager as well as experience running start ups. He has previous experience in 3D printing by volunteering in a 3D printing lab at Rice University. He has traveled to over 15 countries and that has lead him to the ultimate goal of having the most positive impact on the world that he can. That's what draws him to Lazarus, because the company is helping patients and helping doctors save lives. He holds a Bachelors degree in Physics and a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Baker University and the University of Kansas respectively.

​Farheen Hussain

Engineering Intern

Farheen is a senior year student at the University of Texas at San Antonio majoring in Biomedical Engineering. Her major concentration in this field is in Biomechanics and minor concentration is Nanotechnology and Imaging.​

Farheen started 3D printing at University of Texas at San Antonio when researching Abdominal Aortic Aneursyms in the Vascular Biofluids and Biomechanics Laboratory under the advice of Dr. Ender Finol. She devoted her time in the laboratory to a feasibility study which involved 3D printing patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) to assist surgeons in preparation for surgical intervention of AAA. 

Farheen decided to work at Lazarus 3D to expand her knowledge of 3D printing and modeling in the medical field. Throughout her time here, she has already completed many projects including 3D printing a silicone brain model, a kidney with tumors, and many other pieces of anatomy. She looks forward to working with this company and being able to revolutionize the medical field with 3D printing!

Dr. Samuel Adeoye, Ph.D.

Chief Technology Officer


Dr. Adeoye is our principal mechanical engineer with a seven year track record of success. Dr. Adeoye received his PhD in mechanical engineering for his studies on the mechanical properties of carbon nano-fibers, which resulted in several published papers. Next, Dr. Adeoye joined the oil and gas sector where he worked on the design and production of novel downhole drilling systems. However, he longed to move into the medical sector where his work would improve patient treatment and develop novel medical devices. He was thrilled at the opportunity to work with Lazarus 3D's to improve medical training. 

"The best part of working with Lazarus 3D is that the models we make create real changes in patient treatment and outcomes. Leveraging our powerful technology we are fundamentally changing the way medicine is practiced."  ~ Dr. Sam Adeoye.

Here's What Our Clients Are Saying:


"I believe your 3D Model of my kidney played a critical role in the success of my surgery. It enabled the very skilled Dr. Link to do a complex partial nephrectomy, which preserved the vast majority of my kidney function. Since I already had multiple myeloma, my renal function was (and is) essential to my continued well being."
~Mr. Charles Lewis, a patient whose kidney and tumor we modeled

"This Is the Best Model for Partial nephrectomy I have ever seen" 
~Dr. Richard Link,
director of the the BCM Division of Endourology and Minimally Invasive Surgery BCM
