Catechol-PEG based Bioinks for 3D Printing and Gluing
Aranzazu Del Campo, Scientific Director INM, Leibniz Institute for New Materials, Germany
Malgorzata Wlodarczyk-Biegun, Research Scientist, INM, Leibniz Institute for New Materials, Germany

We present a new catechol-PEG based biocompatible ink for 3D extrusion bioprinting. Scaffolds with good shape fidelity are shown. Rheological properties of the material can be adjusted by ink’s component concentrations within physiological ranges.

Biomicrofabrication via Low-voltage Electrospinning Patterning
Yan Yan Shery Huang, Lecturer, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

This presentation will demonstrate LEP’s applications in fabricating bio-scaffolds in microfluidics, producing single-fibres with multi-scale morphologies, and the printing of living bacteria. A cancer metastasis model based on the combination of biofabrication and microfluidics will also be demonstrated.

11:30

3D Laser Printing of Scaffolds, Nanoparticles and Living Cells
Boris Chichkov, Professor, Laser Zentrum Hannover , Germany

In this lecture, we discuss laser-based techniques applied for precise generation of 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering and for printing nanoparticles and living cells into 3D patterns.

Extrusion based Printing Techniques for Generating 3D Tissues
Petra Kluger, Researcher, Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology, Germany

Tissue Engineering is based on the manually combination of cells, scaffolds and specific signals to build up tissues. Using bioprinting techniques could advance the whole field and help to create complex tissue structures, like blood vessels.

16:15

Development of Multimaterial and Multiscale Biofabrication Approach to Reproduce the 3D Complexity of Natural Tissue
Giovanni Vozzi, Associate Professor, University of Pisa, Italy

In this talk, the use of a multiscale and multimaterial process will be presented to develop 3D in vitro model that can mimic the 3D complexity of natural tissue.
