3D Bioprinting Technology in Biochemical Engineering

Abstract

Abstracts − Three-dimensional (3D) printing is driving major innovation in various areas including engineering, manufacturing, art, education and biosciences such as biochemical engineering, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Recent advances have enabled 3D printing of biocompatible materials, cells and supporting components into complex 3D functional tissues. Compared with non-biological printing, 3D bioprinting involves additional complexities which require the integration of technologies from the fields of biochemical engineering, biomaterial sciences, cell biology, physics, pharmaceutics and medical science.

Potential for Chemistry in Multidisciplinary, Interdisciplinary, and Transdisciplinary Teaching Activities in Higher Education

“…MITT curricula offer opportunities to present cross-cutting concepts (e.g., energy for biology and electronics) in real-world scenarios (e.g., biology ,,,, and engineering ,,, ) that reinforce the relevance to students, via different methodologies (lectures, tutorials/workhops, and/or laboratories). , MITT curricula also permit an efficiency of resource by encouraging the reuse of multidisciplinary facilities (e.g., additive manufacturing , or computing for machine learning and augmented reality in chemistry and engineering), − making programs more flexible and sustainable. Drennan and co-workers described the creation of an interdisciplinary introductory chemistry course without time-intensive curriculum changes (overcoming a significant barrier to development and implementation of new curricula) .…”
