The Bassetti Foundation is pleased to publish video of the lecture held by Professor Jos Malda at the Bassetti Foundation in May 2017.<\/p>\n
Malda presented his work at the University of Utrecht in biofabrication using 3D printing technology, addressing many issues surrounding biofabrication and design, describing the current situation in the field and the challenges faced in the 3D printing of living organisms.<\/p>\n
Malda describes the goal of his work through a question; how can we teach the body to repair itself? He describes the aim as that of regeneration, explaining that he uses printing technology to print living tissues. He discusses the advantages of such technology, such as speed and personalization and freedom of design, but also the technological and societal challenges that need to be discussed. <\/p>\n
Malda explains his work in detail, explaining how far we have come in the possibility of printing body parts and living implants and the importance of ethics and responsibility within the field.<\/p>\n
