Three-dimensional bioprinting in medicine advanced considerably over the last few years due to the high precision control of scaffold architecture, increased material versatility, easy process automation and product customization. The multi-material and multiscale combination of living cells with a broad range of novel synthetic and natural biomaterials coupled with improved 3D bioprinting tools is now enabling the fabrication of accurately engineered three dimensional tissues constructs with tailored properties and functions in terms of biological performance and anatomical fit.
Scope of this symposium is to discuss the current state and prospects for refined and new 3D bioprinting technologies capable to create building blocks for complex biological systems and for the development of 3D in vitro system for drug testing and personalised, including most recent advances in image-based computational design, advanced imaging system, design and fabrication of micro and millifluidic bioreactors, innovative bioinks and biofabrication software and hardware. Reports on translation activities for pre-clinical and clinical applications will be also focus of discussion.
(Joint session with Session FA-5 of Symposium FA)
Bioinks (biomaterials and cell-based)
Advances in imaging techniques, CAD/CAM software and hardware
Progress in 3D biofabrication techniques
Printed materials characterization and process control
On-chip applications
Tissue and organ printing and post processing
Novel 3D tissue scaffold fabrication
Modelling of bio-fabrication process and bio-fabrication constructs
In-vivo testing and translation to the clinic
