Engineering Health through 3D Printing

Join Stanford Engineering faculty Joseph DeSimone, Renee Zhao, and Mark Skylar-Scott as they speak on the ways that 3D printing technologies are advancing human health. They will describe how their labs use 3D printing to create vaccine patches, engineer life-saving heart tissue, and produce tiny robots that can deliver targeted drugs or break up clots. This event will bring together faculty from the departments of Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Bioengineering. The flash talks will include:

• 3D Printing: the Future of Vaccines and Continuous Health Monitoring
  Professor Joseph DeSimone
• 3D Printing of Robot “Microsurgeons” for Minimally and Noninvasive Surgeries 
  Professor Renee Zhao
• Scaling-Up Biofabrication: From the Petri Dish to 3D Bioprinting Whole Organs 
  Professor Mark Skylar-Scott

After the talk, please join us for a reception to follow.
