SUMMARY:Putting 3D Bioprinting to Tissue and Tissue Model Fabrication - Dr
  Y. Shrike Zhang\, Department of Medicine\, Harvard Medical School

DESCRIPTION:Over the last decades\, the fabrication of three-dimensional (
 3D) tissues has become commonplace. However\, conventional 3D fabrication 
 techniques are limited in their capacity to produce complex tissue constru
 cts with the required precision and controllability that are needed to rep
 licate their native counterparts. To this end\, 3D bioprinting offers grea
 t versatility in the fabrication of biomimetic volumetric tissues that are
  structurally and functionally relevant. It enables accurate control of th
 e composition\, spatial distribution\, and architecture of bioprinted cons
 tructs facilitating the recapitulation of the delicate shapes and structur
 es of targeted organs and tissues. This talk will discuss our recent effor
 ts in developing a series of advanced 3D bioprinting strategies along with
  various cytocompatible bioink formulations. These platform technologies a
 re likely to provide new opportunities in constructing functional tissues 
 to facilitate regeneration\, as well as in generating microtissue models f
 or promoting personalized medicine.
