Held in conjunction with Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress & 3D-Printing
07 Jul 2015, at 16:30-19:00 in Boston, USA
Course Summary 3D-printing has recently been used to fabricate biological models and to create living tissue. 3D-bioprinting is uniquely suited for mimicking anatomical complexity and heterogeneity present in many tissues. This training course will cover the historical background and emerging trends of optimization of 3D-printing for biological applications, will give an overview of the various bioprinting technology platforms being successfully applied in tissue engineering, and will discuss companies in this sector actively commercializing bioprinting technologies. A must-attend course for researchers from academic institutions as well as companies seeking a hands-on understanding of the 3D-Printing field from the technical as well as commercial perspective.
Topics Covered in this Course - Historical Background of 3D-Bioprinting
- Trajectory of this Emerging Field and Milestones
- Technology Background of 3D-Printing in the Life Sciences
- Approaches, Technology Platforms and Methodologies for 3D-Printing
- 3D-Bioprinting for Tissue Engineering
- Commercial Trends in 3D-Printing in the Life Sciences
- Companies in the Sector
Who Should Attend - Academic Researchers Contemplating Entry into the Field
- Experienced Researchers Seeking a Broad Picture of the Field
- Industry Participants from Companies seeking to Understand the Technologies and Approaches
