Episode #89 | The Bioprinting Frontier (Live Recording)

The future of medicine is growing closer to recreating the very building blocks of life itself. In this groundbreaking discussion, four bioprinting experts reveal how their technologies are moving rapidly from laboratory concepts to clinical realities that could forever change how we treat disease.

Mike Graffeo, the CEO and co-founder of FluidForm Bio, shares the group's remarkable progress toward eliminating insulin injections for type 1 diabetes patients. Their FRESH 3D bioprinting technology creates implants that produce insulin naturally in response to blood glucose. "Life should not come with a needle," Graffeo emphasizes, highlighting how their approach could deliver a functional cure. 

Other leaders in bioprinting go on to share their unqiue approaches to 3D innovation in medicine. Annaliese Vojnich, Business Development and Technical Sales Manager at ViscoTec America, demonstrates how Puredyne's progressive cavity pump technology achieves precise extrusion while maintaining cell viability.

 Dr. Jorge Madrid-Wolff, Application Scientist, reveals Readily3D's volumetric printing, which creates complex structures in seconds rather than hours, enabling functional mammary gland models that produce milk proteins and beating cardiac tissue. Dr. Karolina Valente, Founder and CEO, explains how VoxCell BioInnovation's vascularized tissue models are addressing the 95% failure rate of oncology drugs in clinical trials by providing more translatable data than animal testing.

Ready to witness firsthand how bioprinting is transforming from science fiction into medical reality? This discussion provides both the scientific foundations and practical pathways that will bring these revolutionary technologies from laboratory benches to hospital bedsides within the next decade.
