3F: Designing Biomaterials for Use as Bio-Inks

Date: Thursday, March 26, 2026
Time: 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Room: Hanover FG

Description

Technologies for 3D printing and biofabrication are rapidly advancing and poised to transform the way we study human development and treat human disease. To realize their immense potential, we need new bioink materials that have not only the appropriate properties for cell culture, but also the required properties for biofabrication, which can vary drastically depending on the selected technology. This session invites experimental and theoretical studies of innovative bioink design, including to benchmark and standardize new bioinks, strategies to customize bioinks for clinical applications, and approaches to validate bioinks for platforms such as drug discovery and toxicology.
