DESCRIPTION:Over the last decades\, the fabrication of three-dimensional (
 3D) tissues has become commonplace. However\, conventional fabrication tec
 hniques are limited in their capacity to produce complex tissue constructs
  with the required precision and controllability that is needed to replica
 te biologically relevant tissues. To this end\, 3D additive biomanufacturi
 ng offers great versatility in the fabrication of biomimetic volumetric ti
 ssues that are structurally and functionally relevant. It enables precise 
 control of the composition\, spatial distribution\, and architecture of bi
 oprinted constructs facilitating the recapitulation of the delicate shapes
  and structures of targeted organs and tissues. This talk will discuss our
  recent efforts in developing a series of advanced 3D bioprinting strategi
 es in particular those relating to microfluidic coaxial bioprinting. These
  platform technologies will likely provide new opportunities in constructi
 ng functional tissues to facilitate regeneration as well as microtissue mo
 dels for promoting personalized medicine.
