Welcome to the 3D Bioprinting Core Facility
3D Bioprinting Core Facility (3D-BCF)
The primary objective of the 3D Bioprinting Core Facility is to utilize advanced 3D bioprinting and nanoprinting to reproduce the 3D architecture of biological tissue and tumor tissue.
This approach will enable the production of tissue-surrogates for screening of therapeutics and potentially toxic substances, thus reducing the reliance on animal testing.
In the medium term, the generation of patient-specific tissue will facilitate the screening of drugs tailored to the genetic characteristics of an individual patient (personalized medicine, e.g. in the context of cancer treatment) and the generation of tissue substitutes for tissue regeneration and replacement.
