At this year’s event (11 February 2016), titled “New Directions in Bioprinting” and attended by leading scientists in this area, including nanotechnology professor Boris Chichkov of the Laser Centrum Hannover and Utkan Demirci, an associate professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Mironov outlined global trends in bioprinting. One of the major areas of activity is the printing of patches of skin and cartilage that can be used to repair wounds and are produced more quickly with a printer than by growing skin tissue in cell culture. Utkan Demirci (Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine) make a presentation « Magnetic Levitation and Faraday patterns in 3D Bioprinting».
