Hybrid Bioprinting (Hybprinting) for Multi-functional Interface Engineering
Tissue engineering, facilitated by interdisciplinary engineering and biomedical
technologies, aims to develop biological substitutes for restoring or enhancing tissue function.
Engineering tissues, particularly multi-functional tissue interfaces, presents significant
challenges due to their diverse mechanical, topographical, and biological properties. Dr. Jiannan
Li's research focuses on developing advanced multi-functional manufacturing techniques, such
as the hybrid bioprinter (Hybprinter), to address these challenges. The printing technology
enables seamless integration of soft-rigid materials covering a range of mechanical properties
spanning six orders of magnitude, as well as the ability to pattern thousands of different
biological cues. The study proposes leveraging the Hybprinter to effectively recapitulate tissue
interfaces, offering novel opportunities for applications in multi-tissue engineering, smart
medical implants, and human-machine interface engineering. Some studies have led to
successful discoveries in improving cancer targeted therapy, as well as large bone defect
regeneration.
