"3D bioprinting, an innovative biofabrication technology"
We are a group of young and passionate researchers in tissue engineering, especially in '3D Bioprinting'. In this interdiscipnary research field, we are trying to bioprint artificial tissues/organs in order to enhance patients' health and quaility of life.
3D bioprinting is the process of creating cell patterns in a confined space using 3D printing technologies, where cell function and viability are preserved within the printed construct.
Using this technology, real organ/tissue-like structures can be made by adding biomaterials/living cells layer-by-layer. And printed constructs are utilized in tissue engineering and medical fields.
(Bioprinting: Principles and Applications)
This technology involves computer-aided tissue engineering, design and manufacturing, biomaterials and biology in modeling, design, and biofabrication of tissue scaffolds, tissue constructs, organoids, tissue models.
The on-going research focuses on :
1. 3D bioprinting process to produce biomimetic cellular construct
2. Artificial tissue or organ regeneration
3. Regenerative medicine
4. Body-on-a-chip
5. Drug delivery system
6. Design and development of functional prosthesis
