Engineers apply new tech to model deadly brain tumors
Researchers are using 3D bioprinting to create artificial blood vessels that can be used to test new custom-tailored drugs and study why brain tumors are so resilient.
UC doctoral student Sirjana Pun uses a 3D printer to create bioprinted devices that mimic blood vessels in Riccardo Barrile's biomedical engineering lab. Lead author Sirjana Pun, a doctoral student in biomedical engineering at UC, said organs-on-a-chip devices hold great potential for advancing the development of new therapies. “I’m glad to be part of this society as we work together with other scientists in academia, industry and regulatory agencies to drive adoption of this technology with the long-term idea of replacing animal models and providing alternative methods for drug testing,” Barrile said.
