Revolutionizing Drug Discovery – microfluidics, organoids and 3D Bioprinting

Abstract

REGENHU is a pioneer in developing the world of 3D Bioprinting, providing technologies that enable our users to develop solutions in tissue engineering, organ replacement and the creation of human disease models for drug discovery. Advancements in these areas are becoming reality through progress in 3D bioprinting and associated technologies. In my talk I will present an overview of some of these technology developments, and how they are revolutionizing the way new drugs will be developed, and the potential to revolutionize medicine itself.
