Printing the Future: Penn State’s NIH-Supported Bioprinting Leap
3DPrint.com August 1, 2023
A groundbreaking project led by Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) researchers is poised to revolutionize the bioprinting of human tissues. If successful, their technology will be the first to efficiently create scalable tissues such as bones, tracheas, and organs. Moreover, the initiative has caught the attention of the National Institute of Health (NIH), particularly the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Engineering, which has granted over $2 million in support of the venture.
Spearheading the project is Ibrahim Ozbolat, Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Biomedical Engineering, and Neurosurgery at Penn State.
Highlighting the versatility of the forthcoming platform, Ozbolat said, “This will be a platform technology which can be used for multiple purposes. It could be used for...
