The field of bioprinting has the potential to impact the medical and life sciences fields in many ways in the coming decades. Creating wins for patients that also benefit corporate stakeholders and employees takes a focus on many aspects of commercialization beyond winning technology. Bioprinting scientists and executives need to understand and master key aspects of value creation, intellectual property, and negotiation with pharma and other technology end users to maximize the impact and overall success of the field.

shares his vision of the dark side and the bright side of bioprinting,
whose current trajectory promises man-made tissue and organs, possibly
sooner than you think. In a thought-provoking, slightly scary, and
ultimately inspiring presentation, John explores the myriad issues of
this disruptive technology, including intellectual property, bioethics,
counterfeiting, and customization.
Bioprinting: Challenges to Commercialization of Academic Research -- The Story of Organovo
Thursday, 17 March 2016 at 09:00
Add to Calendar ▼2016-03-18 08:00:002016-03-18 09:00:00Europe/LondonMorning Coffee, Breakfast Pastries, and NetworkingSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com This talk will present the story behind the first commercial bioprinting
company, Organovo. Each attempt to commercialize academic research has
its own challenges. In the case of bioprinting, a paradigm shifting
innovation at the time, the pitfalls and hurdles were above the average.
The talk will briefly overview the science underlying Organovo’s
technology, the process to the establishment of the company, its
evolving business model, the beginning of the commercial operation and
the path to the Initial Public Offering (IPO). We will also briefly
overview the present status of the commercial bioprinting space. It is
hoped that the lessons from this story will provide useful input to
others in the field.

Here, I will discuss several MEMS/Microfluidics-based approaches for the rapid construction of 3D tissue. We demonstrated a bottom-up tissue construction method using different types of cellular modules that serve as building blocks for thick and dense 3D tissues (eg., cell beads and cell fibers).

polymers useful in 3D printing. Importantly all aqueous printing at
ambient conditions, without the need for chemical or photoactivated
crosslinkers, offers simple, mechanically robust and biocompatible
outcomes using the silk system.
4D Bioprinting: Programming Self-Organization to Engineer Biological Tissues
Friday, 18 March 2016 at 09:00
Add to Calendar ▼2016-03-18 08:00:002016-03-18 09:00:00Europe/LondonMorning Coffee, Breakfast Pastries, and NetworkingSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com Bioprinting has been defined as “the use of computer-aided transfer processes for patterning and assembling living and non-living materials with a prescribed 2D or 3D organization in order to produce bio-engineered structures serving in regenerative medicine, pharmacokinetic and basic cell biology studies”. From a technological point of view, the Laser-Assisted Bioprinting (LAB) technology has emerged as an alternative method to inkjet and bioextrusion methods, thereby overcoming some of their limitations (namely clogging of print heads or capillaries) to pattern living cells and biomaterials with a micron-scale resolution and high cell viability. By harnessing this high cell printing resolution, we observe that tissue self-organization depends on the cell patterns initially printed by LAB, as well as cell types. We introduce from experiments performed in vitro and in vivo the 4D Bioprinting paradigm.

The use of a barrier isolator to surround a bioprinter not only lowers biosafety risks for personnel, but also allows containment of a continuously sterile, controlled atmosphere for materials, cells, and the completed organ. We will actively discuss the many ways that a total quality approach to the biofabrication environment can bring reproducible control to production processes from materials preparation through organ manufacture to batch records.

We have developed novel bioinks based on polysaccharide nanofibrils with unique combination of printing fidelity good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Nanofibril dispersion have extremely shear thinning properties and high zero shear viscosity. 3D bioprinting fidelity which is achieved with these bioinks made it possible to print complex cartilage tissue shapes such as ear, nose and meniscus.

Active substance release can be manipulated by choosing biodegradable polymers with different surface or bulk erosion rates, and external conditions such as pH and temperature changes may function as a switch to trigger drug release. Hierarchical structure can be formed simulating layered skin structure employing various techniques including 3D bioprinting. The modification with itaconic anhydride (ITA) that brings carboxylic functional groups and double bonds to the end of light, temperature and pH sensitive gel forming macromonomers has attracted attention since they can be cross-linked either covalent bonding via rapid photopolymerization and/or physically by hydrogen bond or ionic interactions of carboxylic groups with Ca2+ in order to produce new functionalized 3D-hydrogel network.
