Bioprinting: Fundamentals and Applications

What it is about

You will learn the fundamentals and applications of bioprinting: from technologies and bioinks to 3D in vitro models and regulatory aspects. In the end you will be able to evaluate bioprinting processes and their advantages and disadvantages, formulate design criteria for bioinks, and describe methods to assess cell viability.

What you will be able to do

• Understand the operating principles of bioprinting technologies
• Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of existing bioprinting technologies
• Understand design criteria for bioinks and formulate bioink specifications
• Describe methods for assessing cell viability and proliferation
• Analyze current challenges in biofabrication
• Formulate regulatory considerations for processes and products
