Abstract

3D-Bioprinting of Soft Tissues: Functions and Processes

Wai Yee Yeong, Associate Professor at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University

The bioprinting landscape is expanding and growing with exciting new advances. Different bioprinting methods have been proposed to achieve functional and biological applications from the assembly of bioactive elements. In this talk, we will focus on 3D bioprinting of soft tissues with the focus on the key functional aspects of using 3D bioprinting. Beyond just creating the shapes, 3D bioprinting process is an innovative tool for aligning cells and recreating biomimetic design of soft tissues.
