Jos Malda,
Professor of Biofabrication in Translational Regenerative Medicine,
University Medical Centre Utrecht
Jos Malda is professor of Biofabrication in Translation Regenerative Medicine and Head of Research at the Department of Orthopaedics, University Medical Center Utrecht. He also has an appointment at the Department of Equine Sciences, University of Utrecht. He received his MSc degree in Bioprocess Engineering from Wageningen University in 1999 and completed PhD on Cartilage Tissue Engineering in 2003 (University of Twente). In 2007, Dr Malda was awarded a fellowship that allowed him to establish his research group in Utrecht, which focuses on biofabrication and biomaterials design, in particular for the regeneration of (osteo)chondral defects. He has published over 100 articles in peer-reviewed international journals, attracted significant national and international research funding and holds an ERC Consolidator grant. He is a long-standing Board member of the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) and the current President of the International Society for Biofabrication (ISBF).

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is already routinely used in the orthopedic clinic, e.g. for pre-operative models or intra-operative guides. Nevertheless, the shift towards 3D bioprinting has not yet occurred. This shift, however, does hold potential to advance the field of osteochondral regeneration. First, outer shapes of the biologically active construct can be personalized based on clinical images of the patient’s defect. Further, osteochondral or zonally organized constructs can be generated when printing with multiple bio-inks and relevant mechanical properties can be obtained by hybrid printing with thermoplastic polymers and hydrogels, as well as by the incorporation of reinforcing polymer meshes. Finally, bioprinting techniques contribute to the automation of the implant production process, reducing the risk of infection. This presentation will outline these opportunities, as well as some significant challenges that need to be addressed to prompt the shift from non-living implants towards living 3D bioprinted cartilage constructs in the clinic.
