3-D Tissue Bioprinting Program Goals

Layers of spinal cord motor nerve cells (top, in blue) and blood vessel cells (bottom, in red) are shown interacting on a tissue chip, a 3-D platform that supports living tissue and cells.

The goal of the 3-D Tissue Bioprinting Program is to speed up the process of discovering and developing new medicines by creating new assay models that better predict the effects of drugs in humans.
