Bioprinting or robotic automated computer-aided layer by layer additive biofabrication of tissue-engineered functional human tissue and organ constructs is a rapidly emerging new research paradigm in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Recent progress and remarkable advances in stem cell research strongly suggests that the next big thing and next logical step is development of robotic methods of functional human tissue and organ bioassembly. Bioprinting is innovative technology that can transform regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. World leading experts will present and discuss recent breakthrough development in bioprinting technology.
