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
