Study Finds reported on UB research by Ruogang Zhao that centers on a 3D printing method called stereolithography.

The method is particularly suitable for printing cells with embedded blood vessel networks, a nascent technology expected to be a central part of the production of 3D-printed human tissue and organs. “The technology we’ve developed is 10-50 times faster than the industry standard, and it works with large sample sizes that have been very difficult to achieve previously,” says the study’s co-lead author Ruogang Zhao, an associate professor of biomedical engineering.
