Designing Life: A Bioprinting Lab Journey
by [EDUNEXT] Università degli Studi di Pavia · 4 episodes
EducationScience
An educational podcast that takes listeners inside the world of 3D bioprinting, following the step-by-step journey of how biological constructs are designed, printed, matured, and analyzed in the laboratory. Through an interview-style format, each episode explores a key phase of the process, from selecting biomaterials and cells to preparing the bioink, performing the printing process, and evaluating the final construct. The podcast offers a clear and accessible introduction to how biofabrication is helping researchers develop more realistic 3D models for biomedical research.
