Jinah Jang,
Associate Professor,
Pohang University of Science And Technology (POSTECH)
Dr. Jinah Jang received her PhD at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in Korea, and trained as postdoctoral fellow in POSTECH and Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at University of Washington. She has joined the POSTECH in 2017 and now an Associate Professor in the Convergence IT Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and School of Interdisciplinary Bioscience and Bioengineering. She has published more than 90 peer-reviewed articles in journals including Chemical Reviews, Science Advances, Advanced Functional Materials, Nature Communications, and Biomaterials. Her h-index and citations are 38 and more than 6,000, respectively (calculated by Google Scholar, as of January 10, 2022). She currently serves as an Editorial Board Member of International Journal of Molecular Science, Applied Sciences, and Journal of Korean Society for Precision Engineering and as the Associate Editor of Bio-Design and Manufacturing. She also has served as a board of directors for International Society for Biofabrication, and as a board member in multiple societies including the Korean Society for Precision Engineering. She has received numerous awards including the ISBF young scientist award (2014), Excellence Young Researcher Award from Korea Society for Biomaterials (2020), Korea Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Society (2021) and Korean Society for Precision Engineering (2021). Her research interest lies in engineering the functional human tissues using high-performance stem cells and printable biomaterials-based 3D bioprinting technology.

Engineered tissues with intrinsic geometry and appropriate cellular organization can produce high functional outcomes. Although the use of various micro-fabrication technologies for recapitulating tissue constructs has received considerable attention, the technical and operational capabilities in resembling native 3D tissue architecture remain to be overcome. In this sense, 3D printing technology is considered a useful technology with which to facilitate the construction of biomaterials and cells in desired organizations and shapes that have physiologically relevant geometry, complexity, and micro-environmental cues. The selection of biomaterial is the most critical part in this technology; yet, their cellular affinity has rarely been considered in the context of cell printing logistics. In this talk, I will introduce an advanced bioink, which made up with decellularized tissue extracellular matrix (dECM). The material is capable of providing an optimized microenvironment conducive to the growth and function of 3D engineered tissues. As a translational application, we demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of stem cell-laden 3D engineered tissues, which can deliver cardiac stem cells with higher biological activity for the treatment of ischemic diseases.
