Bioprinting: From Research to Clinical and Industrial Translation

Bioprinting: From Research to Clinical and Industrial Translation

Bioprinting is emerging as a key enabling technology in regenerative medicine and personalized healthcare. This session provides an overview of the latest processes, methods, and technological advances in 3D bioprinting, with a strong link between research, clinical application, and industrial implementation.

A particular focus lies on how bioprinting can help address the growing shortage of donor organs by enabling patient-specific tissues, implants, and regenerative solutions, reducing dependence on transplantation and long-term immunosuppression.

Key Topics:

• Bioprinting of living cells for regenerative medicine
• Patient‑specific implants and tissue repair
• Translation from lab to clinic and industry
• International research and industrial collaboration
• The role of the Netherlands in the European bioprinting ecosystem
• Alignment with Horizon Europe Cluster Health and future funding opportunities
