3D and 4D Printing in the Development of Personalized Drug Delivery Systems and Implants
Description
New materials and manufacturing techniques are emerging with potential to address the challenges associated with the manufacture of pharmaceutical systems that will teach new tricks to old drugs. 3D printing / bioprinting is a technique that can used for the manufacturing of dosage forms and medical implants, and offers a new paradigm for the direct manufacture of personalized dosage forms. The introduction of the fourth dimension has led to an increase in the degree of complexity and customization possibilities of such personalized medical implants. However, 4D printing is still in the early stages, thus research is needed to prove its feasibility in healthcare applications. This talk will provide an overview of current approaches from our research Lab, towards the manufacturing of drug delivery systems and medical devices.

Panel
From Bench to Bedside: Exploring the Clinical Translation of 3D Tissue Models
About the panel
In 2022, the groundbreaking milestone of implanting 3D-bioprinted human tissue in patients was achieved, marking a significant shift in focus from “can we” to “when can we” translate bioengineered tissues and organs into clinical settings. However, substantial challenges remain in the path towards achieving widespread clinical translation.
Join us for this insightful discussion as experts discuss the challenges, considerations, regulations and trends in 3D bioprinting for biomedical applications allowing us to move one step closer to preclinical and clinical translations.

Rapid DLP Bioprinting for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Description
In this talk, I will present our laboratory’s recent research efforts in using digital light processing (DLP) based bioprinting methods to create 3D tissue constructs using a variety of biomaterials and cells. These 3D printed scaffolds are functionalized with precise control of micro-architecture, mechanical (e.g. stiffness), chemical, and biological properties. Such functional scaffolds allow us to investigate microscale cell-microenvironment interactions in response to integrated mechanical and chemical stimuli. From these fundamental studies we have been creating both in vitro and in vivo precision tissues for tissue regeneration, disease modeling, and drug discovery. Examples such as 3D bioprinted liver, heart and cancer models will be discussed. I will also showcase 3D printed biomimetic scaffolds for nerve repair. Throughout the presentation, I will discuss engineer’s perspectives in terms of design innovation, biomaterials, mechanics, and scalable biomanufacturing.

Bioprinting Vascularised Liver Organoids
Description
The liver is both a major drug metabolizing organ and a disease target organ and although several liver in vitro models are available, non-hitherto include all liver cell types and form a vascularized structure. These features are needed to thoroughly evaluate the potential drug effect in liver disease since drug targets not necessarily are expressed in hepatocytes, the most abundant liver cell type. Here we aim to develop a bioprinted liver model that includes the major liver cell types and with a functional bile vasculature and transport. Such a model has potential to improve drug discovery with respect to human translatability and reduce time, cost, and need for animal experiments (3R) when evaluating drug metabolism, toxicity and drug effect for new drug candidates.

Workshop
Downstream Analysis of 3D Bioprinted Cell Samples on Single Cell Level
About the workshop
There are multiple ways of analysing 3D bioprinted samples, one powerful tool is to extract the cells from the bioprinted sample to thoroughly investigate the cellular expressions. To study the transcriptome, genome and proteome at the single cell level have great impact in revealing cellular functions, discovering relationships across -OMES as well as recording dynamic biological events. Learn together with CELLENION’s research team how the novel and innovative CellenONE technology can be integrated into your bioprinting workflow for high accuracy single cell isolation, precise picolitre dispensing and streamlined transcriptomic and proteomic workflows with minimised manual handling steps, miniaturised sample volumes and optimised protocols.
In short, this session will teach you everything there is to know about how to integrate an optimized omics analysis workflow into your bioprinting workflow.
