Fabrication of three-dimensional tissues with controlled
micro-architectures has been shown to enhance tissue functionality. 3D
printing can be used to precisely position cells and cell-laden
materials to generate controlled tissue architectures. Therefore, it
represents an exciting alternative for organ fabrication. Our group has
been interested in developing innovative printing-based technologies to
improve our ability to regenerate tissues with improved function, as
well as to engineer hydrogel based microfluidic devices. In this
seminar, we will present novel printing-based methods to fabricate
vascularized tissue constructs, and 3D printed valved hydrogel based
microfluidic devices that can be gated to multiple configurations for
various microfluidics applications. The use of these technologies in
various regenerative applications will be discussed.
