With the potential to create patient-specific tissues and organs, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is advancing the field of regenerative medicine. However, the combined challenge of long print build times and limited cell life span in the bioprinting environment hinders engineering of large, human-scale organs. Using collaborative continuum robots, I aim to reimagine 3D bioprinting systems to create a technology that drastically reduces the time to print human-scale organs. Consequently, my work will further the field of tissue engineering for transplants as well as enable engineering of more physiologically accurate models that can advance fundamental research within organ development and disease modeling.
