Cell Assembly with 3D Bioprinting

Yong He obtained his PhD degree in mechanical engineering at the ZheJiang University in 2008. He is currently a professor at College of Mechanical Engineering, ZheJiang University, China. He is also the deputy director of Key Lab of 3D Printing Process and Equipment of ZheJiang Province. His research is focused on the biofabrication with 3D printing especially on the building organs on chips. He has published more than 100 international journal papers and authorized over 30 patents. He has developed many special 3D printers for the fabrication of microfluidic devices, such as 3D sugar printer and 3D softmatter printer.

Qing Gao obtained his BSc in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation at Hefei University of Technology in 2012. In 2017 he obtained his PhD degree in mechanical manufacturing and automation at the ZheJiang University and continue working in the university as a postdoc. He engages in research on biomanufacturing, biological 3D printing, organ chips, etc. As a core member, he has developed a portable biological 3D printer and high-performance GelMA bio-ink and is committed to building a "material + equipment + service" integrated intelligent manufacturing product system.

Yifei Jin received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida in 2018, He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno as assistant professor in July 2019. His primary research interests mainly involve 3D bioprinting of living tissue constructs, 3D printing of hydrophobic functional materials, yield-stress fluids for 3D printing applications, stimuli-responsive materials for 4D printing applications, and fabrication of multi-layered capsules. His research emphasizes the coupling of materials and fabrication approaches to develop novel 3D printing techniques and understand the underlying physics during printing.
