bioprinting (noun): the use of 3D printing technology with materials that incorporate viable living cells, e.g. to produce tissue for reconstructive surgery.
CLUB
Bioprinting@Berkeley is an interdisciplinary team of undergraduates, united by an interest in the engineering and scientific processes behind tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting.
By creatively and experimentally engaging with the field of tissue engineering beyond the classroom, Bioprinting@Berkeley members are able to:
(1) Learn about the engineering challenges and applications of bioprinting
(2) Significantly contribute to a long-term tissue engineering project
(3) Develop technical skill sets in biology and engineering
(4) Connect with scientific settings in both industry and academia
Reach out to us at calbioprinting@gmail.com with any questions and follow our Instagram page @calbioprinting for updates on our projects/events!
Fall 2024 club recruitment is currently closed, however, we may accept new project members on a case-by-case basis. Feel free to email calbioprinting@gmail.com with a letter of interest and a description of any relevant skills/knowledge!
DECAL
Apart from the Bioprinting@Berkeley Club, we also offer a DeCal class, where students gain a strong understanding of the fundamental concepts of bioprinting, and are also able to survey the many aspects of bioprinting at the industry standard level.
Fall 2024 Decal registration is currently closed. Be on the lookout for our spring 2025 application next semester!
