Four universities in three countries across two continents have partnered to create one revolutionary masters degree program in 3D bioprinting. They have created the world’s first masters degree program that will allow students to claim boldly and proudly that they are masters of biofabrication. Continue reading “The World’s First Masters Degree in 3D Bioprinting”
Queensland students are set be at the forefront of using 3D printing to create human body parts, with a world-first course to be offered in Brisbane. The international masters degree in biofabrication will be jointly offered by, among others, the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. Continue reading “3D printing pushes medical boundaries”
The world is a complex system of biodiversity, individual components interacting, giving and taking from one another. As we begin to truly understand this concept, we can begin to harness the power of living in symbiosis with our environment. Take seaweed, for instance. Researchers at the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Australia have been exploring the use of seaweed in 3D printed medical implants. Continue reading “FFF BioPen Heralds Seaweed Bioprinting Industry”
