3D Nano-biointerfaces

Conventional electrospinning normally generate 2D straight fibers with limited cellular penetration. Here we explore new possibilities to upgrade electrospinning technology to 3D and apply it 1)  to fabricate 3D Nano-biointerfaces that recapitulate the 3D in vivo environment, 2) to guide 3D cell‐materials interactions and 3) to realise a wide range of biomedical engineering applications such as tissue engineering, biosensing and cancer biology.

Bioprinting, both extrustion- and light-based, have emerged as advanced, automated manufacturing techniques that precisely arrange living cells, biochemicals, and biomaterials (bioinks) to create complex, functional tissue-like structures. We combine both electrospinning and bioprinting multimodular biofabrication techniques to englineer 3D multiscale living materials immitating lymphatic, nervous and vascular systems.
