Michael Gelinsky's Biography

Michael Gelinsky, Professor, Technical University Dresden

Michael Gelinsky has studied chemistry and made his PhD in this discipline at Freiburg University (Germany). In 1999 he moved to TU Dresden and worked for about 10 years at the department of Materials Science, heading his own group at the newly founded Max Bergmann Center of Biomaterials since 2002.
In 2010 he was appointed as professor at the Medical Faculty and is leading since this time the Center for Translational Bone, Joint and Soft Tissue Research (tu-dresden.de/med/tfo). His work is focused on biomaterials and scaffold development, tissue engineering and regenerative therapies, mostly for musculoskeletal tissues. His group is also very active in the field of additive manufacturing of implants and biofabrication technologies.

For long-term space exploratory missions and extra-terrestrial human settlements, e. g. on Moon or Mars, the astronauts must be able to treat health problems on site as a fast return to Earth is impossible. 3D bioprinting is a promising technology which might allow fabrication of tissue constructs like skin and bone with limited equipment and materials which mostly could be produced locally. The presentation will give an overview about a study on bioprinting for space exploration which recently was carried out for the European Space Agency (ESA). We have investigated different bioprinting technologies, suitable biomaterials and also possible medical scenarios in which bioprinting might become an important tool.
