Novel technique produces micropores, allowing diffusion of nutrients in biofabricated tissues

Abstract

Dr Yang Wu is a postdoctoral fellow and lab manager at the 3D Bioprinting Lab at Penn State. His research interests involve 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine, such as development of tissue strands as bioink for osteochondral tissue bioprinting, skin bioprinting and pancreatic organ printing in the field of diabetes research. As a postdoctoral scholar at Penn State, he has been leading several fundamental studies. Prior to this, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the department of mechanical engineering, National University of Singapore, where he also completed his PhD in the field of 3D bioprinting. He received his BEng in Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.
