CHDSCR Seminar - "Bioink Platforms for Biofabrication of the Musculoskeletal Tissue Niche"
Professor Tim Woodfield, University of Otago, Christchurch, New Zealand
Professor Woodfield is Director of the University of Otago Centre for Bioengineering & Nanomedicine and the head of the CReaTE group within the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. The CReaTE group is investigating stem cell and biomaterial-based strategies for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration and their application in the clinical translation of orthopaedic medical devices & cell-based therapies.
His research technology platform involves complex 3D Biofabrication and additive manufacturing of biomaterial scaffolds and medical devices applied to regenerative medicine of cartilage and bone, including: novel bio-ink/bio-resin development, advanced 3D tissue culture models and high throughput screening
