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.
