Last week, the Biomolecular Nanotechnology Laboratory, led by Dr. Aitziber L. Cortajarena, and the Hybrid Biofunctional Materials Laboratory, led by  Dr. Dorleta Jiménez de Aberasturi, welcomed TEVIMO, a research network of twelve partners coordinated by Prof. Gloria Gallego-Ferrer (Universitat Politècnica de València)  that focuses on tissue engineering approaches for the development of healthy and pathological in vitro tissue models.
Predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers visited CIC biomaGUNE facilities and attended a 3D bioprinting workshop led by Platform Manager Gerard Boix Lemonche and predoctoral researcher Ane Urigoitia Asua. Participants gained a better understanding of how materials and cells are prepared for bioprinting using pneumatic extrusion and stereolithography. In addition, they received a brief overview of rheological and biological characterization.
