DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Biofabrication
& Biomanufacturing Europe 2019” conference has been added
to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Biofabrication and Biomanufacturing Europe 2019 brings
together researchers from across various disciplines who are involved in
the fabrication of functional, engineered tissue constructs.

This field is of great interest for generating in vitro physiological
and disease models, for target identification and drug screening, and as
potential organ replacements amongst other applications.

A multitude of fabrication approaches to generate tissue engineered
constructs exist including photopolymerization, 3D-printing,
stereolithography, multiphoton lithography as well as self-assembly
approaches. While much progress has been made in generating functional
tissues using both synthetic and natural materials, increasing
throughput and tissue volume has been challenging.

This conference will focus on advanced techniques and approaches being
used for biofabrication with a focus on potentially scalable
technologies that will allow higher throughput manufacturing of
functional tissues.

In addition to scientific presentations, this conference features
exhibits with companies showcasing their technologies and product
offerings into this field.
