Description

Engineering Tissue Organisation Using Intelligent Additive Biomanufacturing. This project aims to organize and shape the formation of lab-grown tissue by 3D printing structures which control the behaviour of cells. This cell behaviour control will be accomplished through an interdisciplinary and multiscale pipeline of additive micromanufacturing, bioreactor engineering, cell culture, single-cell imaging, and computational modelling. In contrast with current empirical approaches, this quantitative and predictive understanding of how to control biological processes within 3D printed environments will design and engineer more robust, customisable, scalable, and economical cell culture platforms able to optimally manufacture bespoke and complex 3D tissues for future agricultural, pharmaceutical, or medical products.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 0903 - Biomedical Engineering. Lead: Dr Mark Allenby
