Axel Guenther – Printing Bio-Tissues for Medical Applications



2013, Science & Technology
Presented By: Axel Guenther

Dr. Axel Guenther’s team works to engineer human tissues in the lab using microfluidic bioprinting techniques. This groundbreaking, made-in-Canada activity takes place right in ideacity’s backyard – Toronto. Here he describes his group’s efforts to move away from one dimensional tissues and to develop fully functioning, 3D bio-tissue sheets for burn victims and other medical applications. It’s an amazing one-step, affordable, scalable, continuous bioprinting process employing dynamic control over material composition.
