Eric Block

Eric Block is the bioengineer Meredith hired to help her with her portal vein research.

Joining Meredith’s Team
He was enthusiastic to start working with the 3D printer on the portal vein research. He even came in with designs. However, he was disappointed to hear that Meredith wanted him to read every line of the research she had done before allowing him to touch the 3D printer. She assigned Stephanie Edwards to monitor him as he read. When she checked on him, she discovered him doodling and told him to get back to reading, but noticed one of his doodles and asked him how it would theoretically work.

When Meredith came back to find that Stephanie had allowed Eric to use the printer, he panicked because he thought he was about to be fired. But she explained the history of her research and how she wanted to get it out of the basement and saving people’s lives. She then sat down to go over a few things with him.

Meredith Grey
Meredith initially didn’t trust him and wouldn’t allow him to touch the 3D printer. However, she warmed up to him and was more willing to work with him.
