Nanofabulous Seminar: Multiscale biofabrication for sustainability and ‘engineering’ biology
The impact of technology on the life science and biomedical field has been truly remarkable. Whilst these innovations have direct health and economic benefits in the near and intermediate terms, current life science discovery and medical research development could be resource and carbon intensive, which might not be sustainable in the long term. This presentation will illustrate my group’s research work on three themes (i) organ-on-a-chip, organoid, tumoroid bioassembly; (ii) 3D printing of soft and biological materials; and (iii) fibre biofabrication for wearable sensors and bioelectronics. I will also discuss an outlook on how multiscale biofabrication can be harnessed to broaden the impacts of system ‘engineering biology’ – through creating more complex in vitro models, and to make sustainable e-textile or imperceptible bioelectronic interfaces for living systems.
