About the webinar

The shortage of organ donors has been a persistent problem for many years, and 3D bioprinting technology provides a promising solution by creating substitutes with architecture identical to native organs. To harness the full potential of 3D bioprinting, it is critical to consider material composition, chemistry, and design.

To make the bioprinted structures readily acceptable by the body on implantation, incorporating biological cues is always helpful yet equally puzzling.

In this webinar Dr. Parinita Agrawal will discuss how 3D bioprinting technology provides a promising solution to the shortage of organ donors by creating substitutes with architecture identical to native organs:

  • Address challenges and strategies for incorporating biological cues into bioprinted structures to create ready-to-implant tissue-engineered substitutes, with a focus on cornea mimetic substitutes.
  • Discuss the important process-related aspects for designing highly accurate tissue mimetic structures using extrusion and digital light processing.
  • Explore innovations in 3D bioprinting for organ replacement, including incorporating cell modulators optimized for specific tissue to promote functional tissue regeneration.

About the speaker

Dr. Parinita Agrawal is leading the Biomaterials and Biofabrication platform at Pandorum Technologies Pvt. Ltd. She has expertise in developing biopolymeric scaffolds for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. She has worked with multiple scaffold fabrication techniques, including exciting developments using bioprinting technology. Her proficiency in the field has so far generated tissue mimetic substitutes for cornea and cartilage tissues in the avascular domain and liver and bone in the vascularized tissue architecture. Her team has also successfully combined the biologics in the bioprinting process and developed ready-to-implant viable substitutes.

Her contributions to the field have earned her recognition on the international stage, as she has published her work in international peer-reviewed journals and presented at over 30 events worldwide. Also received a Certificate of Merit and Medals of excellence for her exceptional performance in academics. Her recreational nature was not limited to research, she has shown her creativity in painting, dancing, and art and craft while working with NGOs.
